Section 9 voted today to delay the start of fall sports until March 1, 2021. This came off the heels of the New York State Public School Athletic Administration’s (NYSPSAA) decision to postpone all “high risk” fall sports, including football, cheerleading and volleyball until March 1. Section 9 took matters a step further and pushed all fall sports, even “low risk” athletics like soccer, girls’ field hockey, swimming and tennis to March 1. “The fall season will follow from March to April and the spring season from May through June with exact start dates to be determined,” wrote Section 9 executive director, Gregory Ransom after the 18-person Athletic Council met this morning, September 10.
