The Kansas State High School Activities Association Board of Directors has voted to allow High School and Middle School competitions during the month of December.
Last Week the KSHSAA Executive Board approved a motion to suspend high school and middle school activities until January 14th.
Tuesday the Board of directors amended the proposal to allow teams to compete from December 1st until December 22nd.
Teams will not be allowed to play or practice beginning December 23rd until January 3rd. The first date to resume competition will January 8th.
Emporia High Athletic Director Curtis Simons, who is a member of the Board of Directors, says it is still the responsibility of local schools to keep everyone as safe as possible.
The Board also voted to allow no spectators to attend games, matches or meets from December 1st thru January 28th.
After January 28th attendance will be limited to allow for appropriate distancing for the facility and in accordance with local admission and attendance policies.
All participants, and spectators when allowed, will be required to wear masks except when athletes are competing.
There will be no change in the number competitions for the winters sports.
Both basketball and wrestling tournaments will be allowed with restrictions. For basketball only 4 teams can be playing at the same time in 2 different gyms. Wrestling tournaments will be limited to 8 teams or 112 wrestlers competing.
