Message form WHSAA Director Ron Laird:

We will extend the suspension of all activities until Monday, April 6th. So that everyone will be on an equal playing field, there will be NO PRACTICES during the suspension. If and when we do resume spring sports, we will hold to the 9 day practice rule and will count any practices from last week. Golf and Tennis will not begin until the suspension is lifted and will need to meet the same practice rule as in the past. We recommend you encourage your athletes to stay active and workout on their own during this time period.

After our conference call this morning with the WDE, there are still questions they will be addressing this week concerning making up of lost days vs. extending the school year. We will not make a decision on spring sports at this time until there is further clarity on that issue. We will be reconvening the WHSAA Board to have further discussions on this matter.

Please disregard my email from yesterday concerning the virtual option for FBLA and FCCLA, those events will also be CANCELLED at this time until we get further guidance from WDE.

Those Home and Virtual school students that have registered in the past couple of weeks for a spring activity will get a full refund if we end up not having a spring season. We will hold those that have not been deposited until a final decision is made on the spring season. Those Home and Virtual school students that have participated in another activity this year will not receive a refund.

As you know, these decisions could also change as the landscape of the pandemic continues to evolve. We may not be able to have an immediate answer to some of your questions, but will do our best to address your concerns.
