Schools Can Begin Fall Sports Conditioning Monday: CIAC

TRUMBULL, CT – Schools may begin sports conditioning activities on Monday but may not resume practices until Saturday, the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CICA) announced Sunday night.

In its announcement, CIAC said conditioning and non-contact skill work during practices may happen in small cohorts and must adhere to guidance from the National Federation of State High School Associations and the Department of Public Health.

This type of activity is considered low risk, regardless of the sport, CIAC said.

CIAC's Board of Control also determined that any fall sport that is cancelled will not be played at a later time during the 2020-21 school year.

The CIAC plans to finalize the timeline of full team activities and contest play this week.

"As it has done through this entire process, the board will continue to monitor the situation and the plan will remain fluid," CIAC said in the announcement.
