OSAA Adopts Altered Schedule for 2020-21

(December 7, 2020)

    The OSAA Executive Board adopted an altered schedule for the 2020-21 school year at their meeting this morning. Given the current rise in the number of COVID cases, they have pushed back the beginning of Season 2 and shortened the length of each season to six weeks. 

     In addition, given the current restrictions on the winter indoor activities they also switched which sports took place in Seasons 2, 3, and 4 to allow the best opportunity for them to be played this year. In the new model the fall sports will be contested in Season 2 (soccer, cross country, football, and volleyball); Season 3 will include the traditional spring sports (baseball, softball, golf, tennis, track and field) and Season 4 the winter sports (basketball, swimming, and wrestling). The Oregon Girls Lacrosse Association will follow the OSAA's move placing lacrosse in Season 2 along with the other spring sports.

     Here is the revised 2020-21 OSAA Activities Calendar

     Finally, they also extended Season 1 through February 21, 2021 to allow optional, in-person training, workouts and even competitions to occur in those areas of the state that are allowed per the Governor’s Office, OHA guidance, and local school district policy. Multnomah County being in the Extreme Risk category is only allowed outdoor in-person activities following COVID protocols until case numbers drop. The OSAA will revisit participation limitations for all seasons, out-of-season coaching policies for Season 2, 3, and 4, and the need for further decisions as a result of updated state guidance or changing risk level metrics at upcoming work sessions. 

 

Below are the Season 1 options for each sport.
