NY Public Schools Move 'High' Risk Sports to March

Paul Steinbach Headshot

The New York State Public High School Athletic Association voted Wednesday to delay its “high” risk fall sports —  football and volleyball, and competitive cheerleading’s fall season — to what executive director Robert Zayas termed a “second fall season” that will start March 1 of next year and run through the end of April.

As reported by The Daily Gazetteof Schenectady, New York governor Andrew Cuomo announced last month that “high” risk sports could practice starting Sept. 21, but could not play until given further approval. Without knowing if competitions would be able to be played in 2020 in those sports, the NYSPHSAA acted Wednesday to put in place a plan to allow for cheerleading, football and volleyball athletes a better chance to compete before the end of the 2020-21 academic year.
