Return to Athletics

CSHSAA Update: Novmber 5, 2025

As students and staff return to learning, reconnect, and rebuild our school communities, we’re thrilled to see athletics back in action! We know how much sports mean to our student-athletes, and our focus has been on keeping as much of each season alive as possible—while always putting safety and fairness first.

Working with schools and athletic leaders, we’ve created a condensed but meaningful schedule to give athletes the opportunity to compete and finish their seasons. While not perfect, this plan represents our collective best effort within the tight timelines, facility limitations, and weather constraints.
