Plan for spring prep sports … should schools open up

March 28, 2020 by 215staff

This comes from the Nevada Interscholastic Athletic Association:

As you are aware, the Governor has indicated that schools will not re-open prior to Thursday, April 16, 2020. The NIAA staff has been putting together contingency plans based on schools opening with extracurricular activities on that day. Should schools open and after school activities be permitted on April 16, the plan, currently, is to begin interscholastic competition on Wednesday, April 22. 

It is anticipated in team sports (Baseball, Boys’ Volleyball, and Softball) that schools will be divided within their classification and region into pools of 3-5 schools with play among those schools used to aid in seeding a Region Tournament at least to the point of being able to separate better teams in the Region Bracket. For the individual sports of Swimming & Diving and Track & Field, schools would be able to compete in competition they arrange beginning April 22. Entry directly into the Region Meet for a maximum number of entries per event per school would make up the Region Meet. For Boys’ Golf, depending on the number of teams in a region and the ability of courses to handle the number of golfers, each school will be allowed to enter a team of 6 golfers in a Region Tournament qualifier, possibly two, held April 22 or later depending on course availability. A predetermined number of teams and individuals would qualify from the results of these qualifiers to the Region Tournament. In Regions which are small enough that a course could handle the number of competitors for the entire Region, all schools would compete in the Region Tournament. 

Qualification to the state meet/tournament in Golf, Swimming & Diving and Track & Field would not be changed from that in a regular year. 

These are contingency plans and not absolute by any means. Adjustments can and likely will be made. There may be a need to limit the number of contests in which a school competes in sports which will not be involved with pool play. This is to assure that an excessive intrusion into what will be limited classroom time between the re-opening of schools and the scheduled end of the school year does not occur. 

Adjustments are also being planned in case schools re-open later than April 16. It is anticipated at this time that competition will not go beyond the dismissal of school for the current school year. It is anticipated at this time that schools will conclude this school year as originally scheduled. A lack of days/weeks to complete competition could result in competition through a Region Tournament only. It is the hope of NIAA staff that all tournaments will be able to be held. We have currently scheduled sites for nearly all of the Region and State Tournaments.
