The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association’s Board of Directors has announced their plan for fall sports at Massachusetts high schools.
Following guidelines set by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, low- and moderate-risk sports like soccer, field hockey, and golf will be allowed to resume with practices starting on September 18.
High school football, however, is considered a higher-risk sport, and as such will not be allowed to resume this fall. Currently, a “floating season” that would be played from February through April is being consdiered.
