2020年11月29日，周日，高中运动员、教练和家长聚集在加州州会大厦，参加一场学生组织的集会，呼吁恢复高中体育活动。由于冠状病毒大流行，高中体育活动被推迟。
Caelan Bonniksen is a spirited three-sport athlete without seasons to play, without teammates and with a lot of life experiences on hold.
Caelan Bonniksen是一个精神饱满的三种运动的运动员，没有赛季，没有队友，有很多的生活经验。
The El Dorado High School senior is frustrated and pained, as are hundreds of thousands of his teenage peers across California due to how the coronavirus pandemic continues to cast a considerable shadow over education. This includes how schools operate in distance learning or in hybrid on-campus form, and those who embrace and need extra curricular activities such as sports to feel a part of something.
这位埃尔多拉多的高中毕业班学生感到沮丧和痛苦，因为冠状病毒的大流行继续给教育蒙上了相当大的阴影，加州成千上万的十几岁的同龄人也是如此。这包括学校如何开展远程教育或混合式校园教育，以及那些喜欢或需要参加体育等课外活动的学生。
Bonniksen, 18, set out to do his part. He created an Instagram page on Nov. 21 called “CIF_LetUsPlay” and got the word out that he wanted to share the concerns of paused seasons and set up a rally of sorts on Sunday afternoon in front of the California Capitol in Sacramento. About 200 people — student-athletes, parents, coaches and more — showed up with signs reading, “Let Us Play,” “Kids Need Sports” and more.
邦尼森，18岁。11月21日，他在Instagram上创建了一个名为“CIF_LetUsPlay”的页面，并宣布他想分享暂停季的担忧，并于周日下午在加州首府萨克拉门托(Sacramento)前组织了一场类似集会。大约有200人——学生运动员、家长、教练等等——举着写有“让我们一起玩”、“孩子们需要运动”等字样的标语出现了。
“We just want to be heard,” Bonniksen said. “I know there are a lot of kids who want to play and who are missing a lot. Decisions are made every day in education based on students’ best needs, but we don’t have that table right now.”
邦尼森说:“我们只是想被听到。”“我知道有很多孩子想要玩，但他们错过了很多。教育方面每天都根据学生的最佳需求做出决定，但我们现在没有这样的机会。”
Those who attended the rally came from Winters, East Nicolaus, Placer County and Sacramento County, representing various sports. Parents and their kids made it clear that they are frustrated with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office, specifically that there are no clear youth sports guidelines, that they are tired of hearing guidelines will be posted “soon.”
参加集会的人来自Winters,、东Nicolaus、Placer县和Sacramento县，他们代表不同的运动项目。家长和孩子们明确表示，他们对加文纽瑟姆(Gavin Newsom)州长的办公室感到失望，特别是没有明确的青少年体育指导方针，他们厌倦了听到指导方针“很快”就会发布。
The California Interscholastic Federation in July pushed back the start of the sports calendar to January in an effort to keep ahead of COVID-19. The CIF, the state’s governing body for high school athletics, continues to maintain that it will not green-light activities until county health departments do. The CIF and its 10 section commissioners will lean on the side of caution, which irritates parents who argue that the mortality rate of COVID-19 is small while parents sometimes within the same school will counter: Why risk playing this sort of virus game?
今年7月，加州校际联合会(California Interscholastic Federation)将体育赛事的开始时间推迟到1月，以跟上COVID-19疫情的发展。该州高中体育管理机构CIF继续坚持，除非县卫生部门同意，否则不会为体育活动开绿灯。CIF和它的10个部门专员将倾向于谨慎行事，这激怒了家长，他们认为COVID-19的死亡率很小，而有时在同一所学校的家长则会反驳:为什么要冒险玩这种病毒游戏?
“We all want a season,” said Richie Watts, the quarterback for Rocklin High. “Sports is so much more than games. It’s learning about life. We’re all missing out.”
“我们都想要一个赛季，”罗克林高中的四分卫里奇·沃茨(Richie Watts)说。“体育不仅仅是游戏。这是对生活的学习。我们都错过了机会。”
Bonniksen’s father, Eric, is the superintendent of the Placerville Union School District, so the benefits of education and sports is a big topic at the dinner table. The younger Bonniksen wanted to remind that, “The CIF and our school districts want us to play sports. They support us being active. My dad says that there’s a fear of school districts being sued. We need a waiver that parents and athletes can sign, to protect the CIF and schools, to protect against lawsuits. It should be a family decision to play sports or not, if we can get that chance.”
邦尼森的父亲埃里克是Placerville联合学区的负责人，所以教育和体育的好处是餐桌上的一个大话题。小邦尼森想提醒大家，“到岸价和我们的学区都希望我们参加体育运动。他们支持我们积极。我爸爸说，他们担心学区会被起诉。我们需要父母和运动员签一个免责声明,保护CIF和学校,防止诉讼。参加体育运动与否应该由家庭决定，如果我们能得到这个机会的话。”
