MUSD HIGH SCHOOL FALL SPORTS UPDATE
Late last week, the Pima County Superintendents met to discuss the fall sports season for area schools whose communities are in the moderate level of COVID-19 transmission. High school athletic directors have been given permission to move forward with scheduling official practice for Cross County, Swim, Golf, Volleyball, and Cheer. The first day of official practice for these sports will be Monday, September 21, 2020. Football is also cleared to start official practice on September 21st, but will continue to refrain from activities involving contact while community spread metrics are monitored over the next week or two
The participants of each sport will be required to follow the Arizona Interscholastic Association's Recommended Guidance for Returning to Athletic Activity as well as the adhere to their Fall Sports Modifications. All MUSD high school athletic activities will continue to implement appropriate layered mitigation strategies. In addition, competition schedules will only include schools within the Southern Arizona region with a focus within Pima County. Additionally, competition plans may include virtual meets (golf, cross country, and swim) as well as any other strategy that may increase safety and participation.
Athletes interested in competing in Fall Sports should complete all required paperwork in Register My Athlete as well as pay their sports fee by the first competition. Also, there is an updated acknowledgement that we asking for each parent to sign prior to the first day of official practice. A copy of this waiver is located below:
We want to thank our coaches, parents, and athletes for their patience during this time. We are looking forward to supporting our student athletes as we transition from voluntary workouts to official practice.
