NYSPHSAA To Delay Fall Sports Start Date & Cancel Fall Championships

[OrangeXtreme]

The Officers of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA), voted to delay the official start date of the Fall 2020 sports season until Monday September 21, cancel the Fall 2020 Regional and State Championships and prepare to implement a condensed season schedule in January 2021 if high school sports remain prohibited throughout 2020 due to COVID-19. This decision comes at the recommendation of the NYSPHSAA COVID-19 Task Force when they convened as a working group for the third time this morning.

If the Fall sports seasons are interrupted or impacted by COVID-19 crisis (i.e. state official guidance, school closings, cancelation of high-risk sports, etc.) then a condensed seasons plan will be implemented. The Condensed Season plan would entail the following, with the stipulated dates being tentative:

Season I (Winter Sports)
Dates: Jan. 4-Mar. 13 (Week 27-36) 10 Weeks *Note: tentative dates
Sports: basketball (girls & boys), bowling (girls & boys), gymnastics, ice hockey (girls & boys), indoor track & field (girls & boys), skiing (girls & boys), swimming (boys), *wrestling, *competitive cheer.
*Because of high risk nature of wrestling and competitive cheer, sports may have to be moved to Season II or season III.

Season II (Fall Sports)
Dates: Mar. 1-May 8 (Week 35-44) 10 Weeks *Note: tentative dates
Sports: football, cross country (girls & boys), field hockey, soccer (girls & boys), swimming (girls), volleyball (girls & boys), Unified bowling. Note: Weather will have an impact upon outdoor sports in some parts of the state in March and potentially early April. Girls Tennis moved to Season III.

Season III (Spring Sports)
Dates: Apr. 5-Jun. 12 (Week 40-49) 10 Weeks *Note: tentative dates
Sports: baseball, softball, golf (girls & boys), lacrosse (girls & boys), tennis (girls & boys), outdoor track & field (girls & boys), Unified basketball.

I actually see winter sports being less likely to take place than fall sports.

i think by winter though all these tests that are almost ready to go finally become real.. once you have $5 quick tests things get better fast.. too bad they cant quite get there but several are pretty close.

 

[upperdeck]

the test ASU is using costs $1 for a saliva test vs the $10 for the Rutgers version.. the next step is figuring out to ramp that up to scale even more.

Spring sports may have a rough time fielding teams. Football players also play baseball, lax and do track & field.

Remember, the condensed schedule only comes into play if they have to move all the Fall sports to the Spring. Right now the Fall sports are on, although starting later.

Understand. That is the situation I was commenting on though I didn't explicitly say that. Good to clarify.

Just cancel the fall sports for everything and be done with it....try for spring with fans (college) and hope for the best.....it will be sad though for high school athletes who will have to choose between sports...will this nightmare ever end?

will this nightmare ever end?

It's all part of Carole Baskin's plan.

Many sports will struggle in the spring then. Football players play baseball and run track in the spring. So instead of football players choosing between 2 sports in the spring, they will choose between 3 which will dilute all 3 teams.
