High School Athletics Update

11/24/2020

 

High School Athletics Update:

In light of the current COVID-19 infection levels, Pima County superintendents received a communication yesterday from Pima County Administrator Chuck Huckleberry requesting high schools to immediately cease all Fall athletic events at public schools. This includes football practice and games. Earlier today, Dr. Streeter met with the other Pima County superintendents to review and learn more about this request. During this meeting a collective decision was made to honor the request of Pima County Administration. As a result, all remaining MUSD football games and practices will be cancelled.

This was a difficult decision and we recognize it is disappointing to our football student athletes, coaches, and families, especially after a delayed start to the season. We regret the abrupt nature of this decision, but we are proud of the way the members of our high school football programs have adapted and persevered during this season.  

As for Winter sports, the AIA has postponed the competition season until January 5, 2021. With current data in hand, we have made a decision to pause practice for Winter sports at this time.  We will continue to evaluate conditions and will make a decision concerning conditioning practices by December 7, 2020.
