4ds agoThe Connecticut
Interscholastic Athletic Conference reaffirmed its previous decision to cancel
the fall football season Wednesday after a Board of Control meeting.
According to an
update on the CIAC website:
"This
decision was made in alignment with the Connecticut Department of Health’s
recommendation that football is a high-risk sport and should not be played this
fall. The board did, however, agree it would consider allowing competition at a
later time for a sport that cannot hold its regularly scheduled season, such as
football, provided it does not negatively impact spring sports."
According to the
CIAC, “schools, with approval from their local [Department of Health], may opt
to play full contact football as a “club” sport, similar to girls ice hockey,
without adherence to CIAC COVID mitigating plans.”
Last week, more than 1,000 players and coaches rallied at the state Capitol. One of those players from Meriden has since tested positive for COVID-19.
