CONWAY — State and local officials remain optimistic that there will be high school athletics this fall, but they’ll be starting a little later than usual. The New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association on Thursday announced preseason, which typically begins the third week in August, has been delayed to Tuesday, Sept. 8.
“The NHIAA Council, comprised of principals, athletic directors, superintendents, coaches and a state school board member, met this morning and took action on the following items,” a release on the NHIAA website states. “While the Council and the NHIAA do not decide if sports are offered, they did unanimously reaffirm the recognition of all the fall sports for the 2020-2021 school year. By unanimous consent, the Council approved NHIAA Return to Play Guidance document. New to this document was a third phase which includes practices, training sessions, competitions, games and tournaments/jamborees. Guidelines vetted and approved by Governor Sununu’s Economic Re-Opening Task Force and the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services provided the foundation upon which the NHIAA’s recommendations are based.”
