Coronavirus once again imperils already altered high school sports seasons

Practices for first group of sports — including football, cross country, girls volleyball, water polo, competitive cheer and field hockey — are scheduled to begin as early as the first week of December with the seasons concluding in March. All the other sports are set to begin in March and April and conclude in June. CIF executive director Ron Nocetti said those plans are still firmly in place, but admits that new guidelines from the state could change things.
