MSHSAA to Allow Alternate Sport Seasons for Fall Sports

On Thursday, the MSHSAA Board voted to approve alternative seasons if a school cannot continue in the traditional fall season. This means that a softball or football program that cannot continue in the fall season can compete in the alternative spring season. The first allowable competitions would begin on March 12th and conclude May 1st. There would be a postseason as well.

This measure also applies to spring sports such as baseball and track. For baseball and track teams that cannot complete a traditional spring season, alternative competitions would start on May 14th and conclude on July 10th. There would also be a postseason for that.

Winter teams can join the winter season whenever their local guidelines allow. 

Schools are still subject to the maximum allowable competitions and weeks requirements in the traditional season.
