Ad hoc committee to be convened for fall 2020

LATHAM – Friday afternoon, Governor Cuomo made the announcement that New York schools will be closed to in-person learning for the remainder of the school year. In accordance with his statement, the New York State Public High School Athletic Association’s (NYSPHSAA) 11 member sections have cancelled all remaining spring sports.

“I would like to commend the work of the 11 NYSPHSAA Section Executive Directors who have worked tirelessly to benefit the students in their Sections,” said NYSPHSAA Executive Director Dr. Robert Zayas. “Many throughout our state were hopeful students would have the chance to participate in high school athletics this spring and return to some sense of normalcy.

“Unfortunately, the COVID-19 crisis has taken a toll on many aspects of our lives and high school athletics is one of them. At this time, we must focus our attention on the health and safety of all New Yorkers. Please stay safe and stay positive during this difficult time.”
