[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It does seem that VHSL is providing guidelines to the school districts. I just checked their website and they have guidelines for Phase 1 and Phase 2 for all high school sports, but nothing up for Phase 3 yet. [/quote]

The VHSL reopening committee is meeting today to discuss how high school sports could look under Virginia Phase 3 conditions that will be in place starting July 1.

The commonwealth's return to school plans don't address athletics specifically, which leaves much room for interpretation and guessing.

Some clarity about social distancing requirements would help districts decide whether they can afford to fund football teams without ticket revenues or navigate need to pay for additional buses to take athletes to game sites. No crowds = no money.

One other issue is that deconditioned athletes will be at unusually high risk of injury once they return. Districts could use clear guidance (not necessarily rules) about that.

Update: after the meeting, VHSL announced that no fall sports schedule for high schools can be created until after Phase 3 ends. Make of that what you will.[/quote]
