Central Wisconsin high school sports conference delays start of season

August 4, 2020 By Raymond Neupert

The Wisconsin Valley Conference has delayed the start of their fall high school sports season.

Following a discussion between superintendents and health officials from the league’s four-county footprint officials announced that no events will be held before mid-September.

Sports considered to be a low risk for COVID-19 transmission like golf, cross country, and swimming will begin practice September 1st and competition by the 17th. Sports considered High-risk like football, volleyball, and soccer may begin practice by the 7th with games beginning after the 25th.

The decision breaks from the WIAA’s recommendation that low-risk sports begin in late August with all others starting up in early September, and comes after health officials wrote a letter to all conference schools urging them to successfully complete at least four weeks of in-person classes before starting interscholastic competition.
