    At the state level. It has not yet been approved at the high school league level and many schools have already openly stated that there will be no fall sports. This is only one of many hurdles cleared.

    It also says no games until October 19th which is going to be tough to squeeze in league games after that.

      you can kiss any LI and/or state championships goodbye as its not in the deal.

      Only league play is allowed as per NYS.

        The other issue is the Mayor (without cause or explanation) not allowing permits to play in the parks. I hope the Governor once again intercedes and allows schools to train and play in October. Something is better than nothing.

            It says practices and games can start in September and will be re-evaluated in October.

              agreed. Any playtime is to be considered a gift. (thanks to our fascist governor)

                Same. Just have a season on LI and let the kids practice and play. There is no need for the rest right now.

                  There will be further meetings and announcements from NYSPHSAA based on the state's guidance:

                  See their twitter:
                  https://twitter.com/NYSPHSAA

                  .
                  @NYSPHSAA
                  will utilize the following timeline once guidance is released: 1) within 24 hrs, Section Directors & Officers will meet, 2) within 48 hrs, COVID Task Force will meet, 3) within 72 hrs, Officers will make a decision "IF" needed.


                  Once those guidelines from NYSPHSAA are released, I guess then it will be up to individual districts to figure out what/if they can do with the requirements, budget implications, etc. So a few more hurdles, but no doubt the path is to allow sports in some form.

                    oct. 18 limitation is only playing outside of region (not official language but you are incorrect) .

                      Ok, the report I read was poorly worded. My bad.

                      Either way I know my kids school district has been warning us that it is almost certain that they are going to push fall sports to early spring.

                        They can't do that single-handedly if the league is happening in the Fall. But they can likely choose to not participate. What district? (or if you don't want to name the actual district, what county is your district in? Small or large?)

                          Suffolk County. Several school districts like Sachem, Connetquot, Riverhead and others have openly stated in various BoE meetings and updates that fall sports is the furthest things from their minds to get up and running. Riverhead actually cut all sports for the entire year for budgetary reasons and Covid.

                            CT poster here - ours keeps getting pushed back, one minute everything i son, then off, then just maybe football is moved... However, even if the state allows it, districts can and are dropping out. I wouldn't call it a concrete trend yet, a few here or there, and hopefully it doesn't grow.

                            My HS players partly want it moved because of the realistic fear they might play 1-2 games and it all gets shut down regardless. As it is the season is very limited with probably no spectators, no playoffs. But, when you look at the complications of moving to the spring with multi sport athletes, club soccer players + the likelihood Covid will still be around, then is it better to roll the dice now?

                              Naive question here. Do the guidelines about no out of state games also apply to club teams? Are there separate guidelines for club sports?
