Upcoming Meets Cancelled
Currently all track meets thru April 10th as of now have been cancelled.
All Sports
A MANDATORY nocontact period is in effect for all schoolsponsored sports March 17April 5, 2020. Additionally, there will be a mandatory shut down of facilities used for the purpose of conducting athletics activities from March 17April 5, 2020.
A couple key points to remember:
1.) We are RELYING on your communication with your coaches to ensure compliance. Bylaw 11 (Penalties) of the OHSAA Handbook outlines the ability to assess penalties for violation. Obviously, we do not want violations, which makes your oversight and communication vital.
2.) The OHSAA NonInterscholastic Rule is still applicable to all athletes, including spring sport athletes. For spring sport athletes, they are in violation of the noninterscholastic rule if they participate in any nonschool sport in the same season if they have already participated in a scrimmage or contest for the school team in that sport. Additionally, at no time are they permitted to participate in any nonschool sport exceeding the 50% limitation defined in General Sport Regulation 7.
Spring Sport OutofState Travel
Obviously, this is highly discouraged, and we urge all schools to cancel these trips. We also know that it is impossible in a few cases to obtain refunds. In those instances, we have no choice but to permit that to continue. However, please note:
Any contest played will be counted toward the total number permitted;
No NEW trips may be scheduled that have not previously been scheduled, and
It is highly recommended that the conditions outlined in Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Actons order be followed regarding the number of individuals permitted at the event (see the Qs and As for more information).
With the return to school date tentatively set by Governor DeWine for April 6, the following will
TENTATIVELY be in place:
April 6 10 MANDATORY Practices and/or Acclimatization (if required)
April 11 All Scrimmages/Regular Season Contests may begin Tournaments will remain on dates as currently scheduled
Please note: Since the current situation is rapidly changing, any of these may need to be adjusted. IF they are, notification will go out immediately to schools. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
