MHSAA Provides Update on Winter Sports Season

The MHSAA provided an update on winter sports following their meeting with the representative council. They will finalize dates for the fall sports postseason soon.

The winter sports teams can start practice on Jan. 16 under the current emergency order from MDHHS. Competition for basketball, bowling, hockey and boys swimming and diving can start on Jan. 22. Competitive cheer, gymnastics and wrestling can start competition on Jan. 25. If current orders change, practices and competition dates can move up. There are no changes to the limit of competition, and schools and leagues can elect to play fewer games.

Spring sports have not been affected by these changes. If the current orders further delay activity, the MHSAA and the council will update plans for winter and spring sports.
