Written by Tariq on September 10, 2020

The New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) announced Wednesday that football, volleyball and competitive cheer fall seasons will be postponed until March 1, 2021. Low and moderate risk fall sports, meanwhile, are still authorized to begin practices on September 21. As a result of fall high-risk sports being moved, the start date for the spring sports season has been adjusted to April 19, 2021. Regular season games can begin for low and moderate risk fall sports (girls tennis, cross country, girls swimming/diving, boys soccer, girls soccer, field hockey) once student-athletes have participated in the required number of practices.
