When will HS Lacrosse be back?

HS: Michigan HS Sports Decision Coming in Mid-July

It looks like Michigan HS Sports *may* have their fall sports during the spring and their spring sports, including lacrosse, during the fall.

So, if a second wave of COVID in the fall is sufficiently bad to cancel a season, it will be lacrosse (again) and not football ...

Based on this story, I have to believe that most high schools will think long and hard about playing. It could come down to what their insurers are telling them about liability.

This is for those wondering what the effects of CoVid can be on healthy athletes. He is 24 years old. The hope is we can return when safe and athletes are not at risk.

While most believe that once a person has recovered from CoVid he or she is fine there is more coming out that suggests otherwise.

California: The California Interscholastic Federation will leave it up to each individual section to determine the playing dates for lacrosse, but with fall sports being pushed to the spring in the state, most sections are expected to delay the start of lacrosse season until late April.

Colorado: The Colorado High School Activities Association placed lacrosse into “Season D” of its modified 2020-21 schedule and the dates for the sport will be April 26 through June 12.

Connecticut: The Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference has not announced any updates to the spring sports season, but a shortened fall sports season is expected. Fall sports teams resumed conditioning Monday and can begin non-contact skills activities in small groups beginning Aug. 29. Any fall sports not able to be played this fall will not be played later in the year.

Delaware: The Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association will announce dates following a September board meeting. The current plan is to start spring sports in mid-April.

Florida: The start of fall sports was delayed in the state, with practices beginning Monday, but no adjustment has been announced for spring sports. The original timeline for the school year has spring sports practices beginning on Jan. 25 with regular season games allowed as early as Feb. 15.

Georgia: Fall sports were delayed two weeks by the Georgia High School Activities Association but are scheduled to begin with games in early September in most jurisdictions. Lacrosse practices are set to begin on Jan. 18 with the first games allowed on Feb. 8.

Illinois: The Illinois High School Association has moved lacrosse from a spring to summer sport, with the season dates running from May 3 to June 26.

Maine: The start of fall sports has been delayed by the Maine Principals Association with the possibility of the sports being moved to the spring. No announcement has been made on spring sports, which are slated to begin practices on March 29 with games on April 15.

Maryland: The Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association has postponed the start of the fall and winter sports seasons until after the first semester of classes. No information has been made public on spring sports, but plans for modified competition seasons for all sports during the second semester are expected to be announced soon.






Massachusetts: The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association has pushed back the spring sports season, which is now scheduled to run April 26 through July 3.

Michigan: The Michigan High School Athletic Association has delayed the schedules for several fall sports, including some regional variations due to varying conditions, but the spring schedule is currently set to allow practices beginning March 15. Football will be moved to the spring, which could cause significant overlap with boys’ lacrosse.

Minnesota: The Minnesota State High School League moved football and volleyball from the fall to a condensed spring season, pushing back the start of traditional spring sports, including lacrosse, until May.

New Hampshire: The New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association has delayed the start of fall practices until Sept. 8. No announcement has been made on spring sports.

New Jersey: The New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association released a detailed calendar of dates for fall and winter sports with fall outdoor sports beginning practices on Sept. 14. The dates for spring sports will be announced at a later time.

New York: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Monday that lower-risk fall sports (cross country, field hockey, soccer swimming and tennis) can begin competition on Sept. 21, but all other fall sports are only permitted to practice at this point. The New York State Public High School Athletic Association is expected to announce its plans this week following the governor’s recent guidance.

North Carolina: Traditional fall sports have been moved to the winter and spring by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association, resulting in a major switch for lacrosse. Boys’ and girls’ lacrosse will now have their seasons run early from January 11 through March 12.

Ohio: The start of the fall sports season was delayed, but the Ohio High School Athletic Association got approval from Governor Mike DeWine last week allowing for “contact” sports in the fall (field hockey, football and soccer) to begin their seasons. No update for the spring has been announced.

Pennsylvania: The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association voted last week to allow fall sports to begin practicing on Monday. Games for most fall sports would start on Sept. 11, and presumably spring sports would start on time if things move as planned.

Rhode Island: The Rhode Island Interscholastic League delayed the start of fall sports about a month until Sept. 14. The start date for spring sports will be contingent upon whether or not some of the fall sports end up shifting their schedules to the spring.

South Carolina: Fall sports were delayed by the South Carolina High School League and seasons will be condensed. No updates have been released for spring sports, which include lacrosse practices scheduled to begin on Feb. 3.

Utah: The Utah High School Athletics Association began the fall season with no delays, so practices for boys’ and girls’ lacrosse are scheduled to start on time on March 1.

Vermont: The Vermont Principals Association announced that no 11-on-11 tackle football would be played this year. It will be replaced by a 7-on-7 touch football version. Also, volleyball matches must be played outdoors and all athletes from every sport must wear a mask while competing. Guidance on winter sports is expected on Oct. 15, so there’s still significant time to see how lacrosse might be impacted.

Virginia: The Virginia High School League delayed the start of all sports until mid-December, resulting in a condensed playing calendar. The lacrosse season will run from April 12 until June 26.

Thanks for the update and info, MPI! It's gonna be a challenge, if not impossible, to have open intersectional (cross states) games this spring. Hopeful the kids and coaches get to do their thing no matter.

HS Soccer team in NH. If I'm learning anything this fall during with HS and College Soccer it's that individuals, schools, and conferences will do different things, ranging from admirable to what-in-heaven's-name-are-they-doing. In other words, the answer to the Original Post's question is, Yes. And some will play, some will not, and some will do something in between.

I continue to hope that we'll learn from issues/events like this as people make plans for spring. With another four months of getting a better understanding of the virus, and continuing medical improvements that make it less of a threat than it was last spring, I feel compelling cases will be made to let the kids play. Nobody will want to take away two springs from these kids, and there will be tons of examples of lacrosse played (through summer and fall club/showcases) that demonstrate it's not a super spreader sport.

I don't see hs lax in 2021. If the vaccine comes through and if people observe guidelines, 2022 is a possibility.

There was HS soccer in 2020. Not everywhere. But state by state. We should expect the same this spring, no?

I'm skeptical about college lacrosse this spring, but I think we'll see at least modified high school lacrosse in a lot of the country this spring. Potentially a lot of late start, league only, no state tourney - basically how MA handled soccer to Matnum's point.

This winter will probably get really bad, but spread through high school settings and outdoor athletics appears to be quite low, and hopefully a good portion of the medical/frontline workers and the elderly/vulnerable have received the vaccine by mid-March. Those factors, plus really not wanting to take two springs of competition away from high school athletes, make me hopeful. Perhaps naive, but still hopeful.

HS here in the South starting to roll out schedules. Most states in the region planing to start on time. I've seen Feb dates for games and few late January dates for states that start that early.

Yes. Boys is Jan as well. Yeah, they usually start first week of March. Not sure why they pushed it up? Y'all played football there?

Football got moved from the Fall to February this year. They pushed lacrosse earlier to accommodate precious football.
