If the pandemic should affect fall sports then push back every sport to the spring. Granted there are many athletes that play multiple sports but these are unusual times and we have to start thinking outside of the box. If the sun goes down too early for baseball and softball games during the fall then play doubleheaders on Saturdays. Whatever it takes. These are unusual times. Don’t we as coaches always preach to make adjustments. Well now is a good time to practice what we preach.

That’s a fair point. Maybe shorten the season and have day games. Who knows?

@roots – would be kind of hard to see a flying baseball in the Fall when the sun sets earlier then in the spring. There are very few lighted baseball fields in the state. I could see boys volleyball, but certainly not baseball or softball.

Football should be moves to the Spring. It generates the most money. It is by far the most watched. a

It’s unfortunate that Spring sports got canceled last year. But non contact ones like baseball and boys volleyball should be moved to the Fall.

It’s easier to social distance and has far less contact.

If it gets canceled again, it’s unfortunate. But the interest isn’t close to football. So football should be taken care of.

If numbers continue to spike, lower risk sports are easier to social distance and manage. This idea brings an opportunity for more athletes to participate in the sport they enjoy.
Also, spring sports were just canceled leaving thousands of athletes with season cut short. At least this brings more of an opportunity for the lower risk sports from spring to get back at it.

Spring sports already got cancelled for high school earlier this year now Ron Lee is suggesting moving those “lower risk sports” to Fall. Why? So when numbers spike those sports can get cancelled for a second year. Spring sports have the best chance of being played because the virus might be under control by then. Next he’ll ask for an exemption for his held back players turning 20 during the season!
