Idaho high schools push back spring sports

COVID-19 cases continue to grow in Idaho and spring sports season remains uncertain

The Idaho High School Activities Association (IHSAA) extended the mandatory suspension/postponement of activities to April 20 due to COVID-19. The date corresponds with the Idaho State Board of Education’s closure of schools. 


IHSAA member schools are not allowed to compete in games or contests, practice in sanctioned sports at any location and coaches and students in member schools are prevented from holding meetings.


According to IHSAA, coaches and students are not allowed to use the school’s athletic facilities for practice, games or contests regardless of affiliation (club or otherwise) of the group seeking to use the facilities.

The IHSAA office and the Board of Directors will continue to monitor the situation and work with member schools and health officials to make decisions for spring activities.
