VHSL proposals for return of high school sports don’t include football in the fall

In a special session in Charlottesville on Wednesday, the executive committee of the Virginia High School League received three proposals for reopening sports and activities, including flipping fall and spring sports.

Though football is included in two options, it’s all but certain football won’t be played in the fall of 2020, though a final decision will be made July 27.

Model 1 would leave all sports in the current season. Low and moderate contact risks sports that would be allowed to play are golf and cross country. High-risk sports that would not be played are field hockey, football, volleyball and cheer. Theater would be allowed as a fall activity.

Model 2 would switch fall and spring seasons. Low and moderate contact risk sports that would be allowed to play in the fall are track and field, tennis, soccer, baseball and softball. High-risk sports that would not be played are boys and girls lacrosse. Spring activities that would be allowed are theatre, forensics/debate and film festival

Model 3 would delay all VHSL sports and adopt the Condensed Interscholastic Plan. It would leave all sports in the season where they are currently aligned.
