Game On! for Minnesota High School Football and Volleyball this Fall

COVID-19 Daily Update September 22, 2020

Minnesota high school football and volleyball are back on for this fall.

During a recent virtual meeting, the Minnesota State High School League’s board of directors voted to reinstate both seasons.

The votes reverse a decision made by the Minnesota State High School League in August to postpone the football and volleyball season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Prior to the reversal, a survey was sent out to schools in the league… and according to league officials, most of the 400 schools that responded were in favor of a fall season for both sports.

League officials say schools will be doing their best to enact safety protocols that follow the state’s guidance on sports.

Minnesota Department of Health commissioner Jan Malcolm reacted to the news during a recent coronavirus briefing.

“We respect the league’s decision… I think they’re aware that there is some risk. And I think we all suspect the season will be influenced by what direction the pandemic takes from here.” said Malcolm.

Both football and volleyball can begin practice on Sept. 28. Football will have a six-week regular season starting the week of Oct. 5 and a two-week postseason. Volley will have an 11-week season with 14 dual competitions, starting Oct. 8.
