In c1 3 kentucky...high school athletes took to the field and played a game.

It's the first day schools can start playing each other again..per k-h-s- double a guidelines.

And like many other parts of life....reopening... or in this case, returning to competition...looks different than ever before.

Abc 36's monica harkins shows us what frederick douglass and laurel county soccer fans experienced as they got back to the time.

Nats clapping yes there's some of this again... "nats: park back there."

But no without this "nats: take this with you and scan and fill out a covid questionaire."

Madison central high school hosted frederick douglass and south laurel boys soccer tuesday night.

And it's no surprise fans coming to the game had to follow some new rules.

"jennifer oaks, volunteer:" everybody has been very polite and respectful- respecting of all of the rules."

Jennifer oaks is one of the volunteers passing out fliers with a link to an online covid-19 questionaire.

She directed fans to park in different lots where they had to do a temperature check before entering.

Oaks is also a soccer mom...who says the rules are a small sacrifice.

"jennifer oaks: i think as long as the boys get to play and they have their season it's worth it to every parent to see that happen."

Not everyone was as happy to play along.

"dale and vonda melton: they inject fear into society so we all have to conform so it's just not right."

Dale melton says he wishes he didn't have to wear a mask and people followed more of a self- regulated mentality.

"dale and vonda melton:if you want to live like this, move to a communist country."

"nat pop of soccer game" i aske this south laurel dad what he thought of the new rules.

"rick lenoir:"i don't think anybody knows what's enough and what's not enough this year.

That's been the big thing...it's been the uncertainty."

A feeling that likely won't go away because there's still a chance the season could get cut short...but for now, parents are just happy the ir kids are back on the field.
