After meeting with coaches, athletic directors/principals and superintendent representatives from the respective regions, the VHSL staff has drafted the following plan for the FY 2021 Athletic and Academic Activities.
Sideline Cheer has been moved from Season 2 to Season 1 to accommodate the beginning of the yearly calendar. These teams serve as an auxiliary group for any sport team sponsored by a member school.
• Each sport will play 60% of the normal contests allowed
• For the 2020-21 school year no district may intentionally disadvantage a member school relative to scheduling. A school may request of its district to fill their schedule with non-district opponents. All District decisions relative to scheduling require the unanimous approval of the district.
Penalty for failure to comply: Intentional violations of the scheduling rule will result in the offending district schools being ineligible for post-season participation.
• Football will have 7 dates to play 6 games. 1 – 02/22 2 – 02/27 3 – 03/05 4 – 03/12 5 – 03/19 6 – 03/26 7 – 04/02
• Any game not played due to COVID-19 issues will be treated as a game “not played” versus a forfeit. • Regular season academic events do not have a calendar. Schools/teams may participate in these activities throughout the regular school year per local school approval.
• Dead Periods: Season 1: 12/07 – 12/19 Season 2: 02/04 – 02/20 Season 3: 04/12 – 04/24
