Wasaren League Postpones Fall Sports
After thorough deliberation during a series of meetings between Wasaren League school superintendents, the League has decided to postpone all fall 2020 sports to the Fall II season in Spring 2021 with football, volleyball and competitive cheer. The Season II (fall sports) is tentatively scheduled from March 1 to May 8 per NYSPHSAA. Significant discussions took place considering the increased risk of exposure to COVID-19, contact tracing, transportation, scheduling, and the safe management of sporting events. The superintendents agreed that the focus in September and October should be on the safe and healthy reopening of schools. While the league has decided to postpone fall sports, the steps moving forward for each district will be made in consultation with their respective Boards of Education.
All Sports Practices Cancelled Until Further Notice
Section 2 has cancelled all interscholastic scrimmages, non-league, and league contests through April 19th. Since that time many decisions have been made in regards to cancelling classes and schools within the WSHE BOCES and Questar III, which impact Wasaren League schools. As a result, all practices are cancelled until further notice. Updates will be provided should there be a change to athletic practices and contests in the coming weeks. This is a continually evolving situation and we appreciate your understanding as we work to keep you informed of ongoing changes.
