Fall season in full swing as practice opens in all sports
Here we go. The season is officially underway for every fall sport as of Monday morning.
Boys golf has been allowed to practice for a week, but the remaining fall sports had to wait until Monday to kick things off. Joining the fray now are boys and girls cross country, field hockey, football, gymnastics, boys soccer, softball, spirit, boys tennis and volleyball.
Boys golf’s meets started last Thursday. The rest of the sports aren’t far behind now.
Softball can also begin scrimmages Monday, and then games on Friday. Boys tennis can begin scrimmages and matches on Thursday.
Cross country, field hockey, gymnastics, boys soccer, spirit and volleyball can scrimmage starting Saturday. Each of those sports then begin competition on Aug. 21.
Football is allowed to scrimmage on Aug. 21. That also marks the start of Zero Week, traditionally a light schedule ahead of Week 1. Teams no longer require CHSAA permission to schedule games during Zero Week. Week 1 games are Aug. 28.
Boys golf has the first championships of the 2014-15 season, Sept. 29-30. Football’s final title games — those of class 3A, 4A and 5A — are Nov. 29. Spirit closes the fall season out with its championships Dec. 5-6.
