As of now, the Iowa High School Athletic Association is planning to forge ahead with fall sports as is in August.

According to a statement issued late last week, practices for cross country, football, and Class 4A golf are scheduled to begin on August 10th. Specific sports related guidelines are expected to be released on July 27th, and the IHSAA states they are working with the National Federation of State High School Associations, the Iowa Athletic Trainers’s Society, and the Iowa Departments of Education and Public Health to develop protocols.

All this month, students participating in fall, winter, and spring sports from both boys and girls teams have been allowed to come back to school buildings for workouts, team drills, and camps with several health protocols and capacity restrictions in place.
