The WIAA Board of Control has canceled the 2020 Spring Sports Season. The Board is opening up a 30 day summer period for spring sports teams to host or attend their own competitions.
🚨 Board of Control has voted to cancel 2020 spring competitions & tournaments. 🚨
30 days of summer contact will be allowed for spring coaches, if they include seniors. Acclimatization rules must still be followed & contact must follow the governor’s orders.
Details to come.

Clarification from Travis Wilson from WisSports
I had some trouble following initially, but it is much simpler than it seems. Spring sports have local option to go from 5 days of school-involved summer contact to 30 days. 30 days begins when state allows. To get expanded 30 days, must include seniors, otherwise remains 5 days https://t.co/UVtQWEFacz

The current earliest date for beginning practice would be July 1st.
The state of Wisconsin's school closure order prohibits school facilities from being used or open through June 30th.
The 30 contact days cannot begin until the state lifts SaferAtHome or provides guidance that such things are available. Earliest as of now would be July 1 https://t.co/8AdN5Oy6oK
