I was wondering what MSHSAA will do on spring sports. Realize this is football forum, but any thoughts.
Spring Sports
- Thread starter 1951anNMARIA
- Start date
I just guessed it was only a matter of time before they canceled.
Will this have any impact on spring sport athletes getting scholarships?
We are out until April 27. Most schools are around 10 practices so far. Waiving the minimum practice days I would think it would be looked at as unsafe, as it should. Even if they started back w counting ur previous practices, that would put competitions at the first week of May. W the lay off pitchers can’t be near ready. Track kids times would be real slow. Only way it would work is if they extended the season into mid June. Which then you get into summer baseball, foot/soft/volleyball etc summer contact days. I would think it’s just going to be cancelled. Hate that for the seniors, but extremest of circumstances. Of course what do I know.
No insider info here, but I have to think spring sports are history. Does anybody think this will spill over into fall sports?
Don't know about fall but a lot of pools won't open and a lot of summer __________ball won't happen. JMO
Seems hopes of spring sports are fading fast. Just terrible for the athletes. I think best case now is no summer stuff is canceled. One would hope we would be back to normal by June 1.
Man, that whole pool thing has me depressed. I live for that with the kiddos in the summer.
Then again there is this:http://www.ozarkssportszone.com/2020/03/24/update-on-status-of-spring-sports-championships/
I do, yes.
They aren’t the sharpest knives in the drawer. You’re, at the moment, nearly into May before most are back to school (as it is now, I don’t think that will happen). Then you still have the issue of practices to get to 14. Or if it’s even safe to count the practices prior to the long layoff. Then you’ve got to play some games prior to a district tournament. Then you’ve got to squeeze in the entire playoffs. Around potential weather problems. But hey, MSHSAA, you bet...it’s still possible.
To me, if we go back in early May, have practice for a week and a half. Let schools schedule and play their conference games. Forget a state tournament type deal. That way seniors can get in a few games and play against your rivals one more time.
You know this layoff is killing the "select" coaches! Our neighbor's son's select coach called them, was trying to set up some practices. Saying "we will keep em spread out and apart, got to keep the boys sharp." the country is shut down, but they need to practice.
Oh yeah, they are 11!

There has been talk to push the season back until the possibility of having the state tournament into the middle part of June.
They are saying NY will hit its peak in 3 weeks. We are behind them. So say 3 weeks after they hit their peak we hit ours. Now you still got the time after for things to settle down. Then the doctor I listened to said it would flare up again for a while because of people relaxing. You think there will be spring sports? You better wonder if we will have fall sports.
Idk. China said there is like 23 million less cell phone users. I think there may be quite a few people dead in villages that haven't been counted.
Anyone relying on any statistics coming out of China is totally ignorant of the present regime. They could be understated or exaggerated depending upon what the government wants the world to perceive about any particular topic.
I didn't say I believe them, he'll I don't believe my own president and Congress. It could be a thing or not a thing, like spring sports.
Not intimating that you believed it. Just a general comment on any disinformation that comes out of China.
If they have competition (which I am seriously doubting), why waste it on playoffs and championship meets? In track, they should just do duels, tris and quads for a few weeks and call it a season. More participation. Otherwise the only ones getting a season are the top 15%.
On the bright side...99.99% of Missourians have not tested positive for covid-19.
spring sports? Heck I'm worried about high school football next fall
No PHI or PII needed but do you know their ages and if they had any underlying or preexisting conditions? There seems to some ambiguity in the data for the risk groups
Those ages are what gives the ambiguity in the data for risk groups. Anyone can get this virus but a healthy 16 or even 45 year old requiring hospitalization? That isnt adding up.
The hospitalization rate has been super high relative to the poz tests...flu is about 1%. This has been 12-15%
