GRR: HS Girls
What high school sports governing bodies do about fall sports will have a direct effect on what happens with rugby, even though only one state, Massachusetts, runs a competition under the official auspices of its scholastic athletic association.
Rugby Oregon has canceled its fall HS 7s season.
In a post on Facebook today, Rugby Oregon Executive Director Laci Betts said there will be no fall high school 7s in Oregon.
Oregon HS sports will start late this fall, with no sport starting until the end of September.
But perhaps more significant, the football season has been delayed indefinitely.
The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) has announced that it will not hold high school sports until December.
The state of Washington has pushed almost all high school sports back to the New Year, which will likely have a profound effect on high school rugby participation in 2021.
