Athletics Update

March 22, 2021

Dear Parents/Guardians and Student-athletes,

I hope you are all well and like me, looking forward to the warmer weather. Fall Season 2 is underway and the spring athletics season is quickly approaching. Please read the below information carefully as we continue to navigate through these unprecedented times. All activities are being conducted in compliance with the Greenburgh Central School District, Westchester County Department of Health (WCDOH), Section 1 Athletics, and New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) COVID-19 protocols and guidelines.

High School Athletics Timeline

● Sunday, April 25 - Fall Season 2 season ends

● Monday, April 19* - All Varsity and JV spring sports seasons begin

● Sunday, June 13 - Last day for spring sports

● Varsity Sports Awards Ceremony - TBD as we continue to plan around and monitor DOH guidelines.

*Note - there is an overlap of one week between the end of Fall Season 2 and the start of spring season. Students do not have to choose one sport over the other if they are a multisport athlete. They may join the next season as soon as their current one concludes.

Spectator Policy at Interscholastic Contests

● Outdoor sports - 2 spectators per athlete for home and visiting teams are permitted but is at the discretion of the host school. A host school still reserves the right to not permit visiting spectators. This means we may have away contests where Woodlands spectators are

not permitted. We will notify you in advance when this is the case. We are planning to allow 2 spectators per visiting athlete.

● Indoor sports

○ Regular season - 2 spectators per athlete for HOME team only.

○ Post season - 2 spectators per home athlete and 2 visiting parents for visiting team senior athletes are permitted.

○ A host school still reserves the right to not permit visiting spectators. This means we may have an away playoff contest where Woodlands spectators are not permitted. We will notify you in advance when this is the case.

● Similar to the fall and winter season, we are working on streaming home varsity contests. Links to the games will be distributed when available.
