As someone who actually has work experience in this field. Mosquitos test positive for West Nile every year. Usually later in the summer, but it’s a common and expected occurrence. Mosquito traps are collected and tested to monitor rates of West Nile in the area.

The vast majority of people who contract West Nile will have no symptoms or minor flu like symptoms. Most who develop symptoms will think they’re just sick and not know they had West Nile unless they went to the hospital and were tested. There is no reason to shut down practices and tournaments because mosquito traps tested positive. Follow basic safety precautions and use mosquito repellant.

Here’s information regarding West Nile cases from last year: https://idph.illinois.gov/wnvpublic/wnvglance.aspx?year=2024
