Softball and boys’ tennis have been given approval to begin play this fall, CHSAA Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green announced Wednesday at the Association’s annual All-School Summit.

The sports were approved as part of CHSAA’s return-to-play plan submitted to the state’s COVID-19 Response team within the Governor’s office, she noted.

Softball and boys’ tennis can begin practice as scheduled on Monday, Aug. 10, with competition starting Thursday, Aug. 13.

Both sports will have modifications to their seasons complying with current national, state and local health guidelines. Any activity or sport is subject to change based upon any changes to national, state or local guidelines.

The CHSAA office is anticipating a decision from the COVID-19 Response team on the remaining sports by the end of the week. Please consult CHSAANow.com for up-to-date information.
