As Illinois High School Association (IHSA) sports remain paused and low risk sports may not begin until the state returns to Phase 4 in the All Sports Policy, the IHSA Board of Directors met Jan. 6 and has scheduled to meet again Jan. 13 to figure out whether winter and spring sports can begin.
“Our Board of Directors is going to have difficult decisions to make regarding the seasons for medium and high-risk sports very soon,” said IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson. “With no specific IDPH timeline or statistical benchmarks established for the return of sports and the calendar shrinking, putting together a puzzle that allows for all sports to be played becomes increasingly improbable. We continue to urge all residents of our state to be diligent in their efforts to adhere to safety guidelines, as a lower positivity rate remains the key to athletics returning.”     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
