BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — The California Interscholastic Federation determined high school sports for the 2020-2021 school year will be delayed amid the coronavirus pandemic.

According to the CIF, fall sports will begin in either December or January of 2021 depending on the sport.

This decision is contingent on directives and guidelines released by governing and health agencies. As these guidelines change, CIF Sections may allow for athletic activity to potentially resume under the summer period rules of the local Section.

The CIF said each CIF section office will release its own calendar to reflect the regular starting and ending dates and section playoffs.
