Youth basketball league participants in Los Angeles are still being required to wear masks while they are on the court more than two years into the COVID-19 pandemic.
Los Angeles Uprising, an organization that pushes back against "restrictions and mandates," tweeted a picture of a youth basketball game from Saturday which shows participants wearing masks while on the court.
The youth basketball game took place at the Mar Vista Recreation Center.
A flyer for the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks Summer Basketball League states that a "face mask is required at all times."
In addition, participants over the age of 12 must provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 before entering any indoor park facility.
The Los Angeles Uprising founder, who chose to remain anonymous, told Fox News Digital that the policy is absurd.
"Obviously, at this point, there's no excuses anymore. You know, everyone has access to vaccines. Everyone can do it. Everyone's caught in this. At this point, it's just completely out of alignment," the LA Uprising founder said.
"And no one in this city has ever fought for kids or said, 'Hey, let's make sure we get this in alignment for them.' Let's make sure that teens and kids this end of summer and fall don't have to deal with restrictions if they don't need to. But no one ever speaks up for the kids, certainly out of public health and certainly not in the city. They've never done that. They've never looked out for the kids. Never," he added.
Jonathan Zachreson, founder of Reopen California Schools, told Fox News Digital that he thinks it's dangerous to have kids wearing masks while doing physical activity.

Conforming society has to re-learn this same lesson every few days.
Wouldn’t a full spacesuit work better?
Will they require the Lakers to play with masks,too?
Why not?
My God! These people are stupid! It’s beyond comprehension.
This stopped being about health 18 mos ago.
Where is the science study for this?
People ages 0-60 have a 99.9% chance of surviving the man-made covid flu. Useless are masks and vaccinations for anyone under the age of 60.
What they don’t realize is they have a real chance of dying from the masks.
None should play.
After Multiple Deaths, Officials Call for No Masks in Gym Class
If only one person in our country still wears these things voluntarily we have a problem - much worse the moron thugs who make others wear them by fiat or policy.
It is dangerous. Imagine being a long distance runner, in a race, running for MILES in heat as fast as you can in a mask. At least 2 high schoolers collapsed from this in 2020-21: one in OR and one in NM. Cruel, anti-student anti-athlete states. I’d like to see the bureaucrats try running as fast as they can for miles wearing the mask they mandate.
The people in California keep voting for this. They had a chance to make a change recently with Larry Elder and decided to keep the authoritarian.
This is obviously what a plurality of Californian want.
Q: If so-called monkeypox is an issue and can be spread by fomites, why insist on muzzles...er, masks, which are fomites...?
At one time in our history only the crooks wore masks, thus were singled out as the bad guys, thus they could be identified. Not so in today’s world. Can’t distinguish between good and bad anymore, which makes anyone wearing a mask bad.
Los Angeles is still sucking up the COVID free money train parasites in action.
More depopulation efforts. Vax & mask them, increasing young males’ heart problems.
