MSHSL Cancels Spring Sports, Activities for 2020

4:24 PM | Thursday, April 23, 2020

The Minnesota State High School League this afternoon cancelled the 2020 spring season for all students in extracurricular activities.

The announcement came hours after Governor Tim Walz continued distance learning for all Minnesota students for the remainder of the school year and said students would not be returning to classrooms this spring.

In a press release the League said the decision to cancel spring sports  “is aligned with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Minnesota Department of Health and is in support of practices that focus on community health and safety.”

The cancellation applies to all forms of student participation in any League activity, athletics and fine arts. The section and state tournaments for each of the League’s spring activities are also cancelled. This cancellation applies to Adapted Bowling, Adapted Softball, Badminton, Baseball, Clay Target, Golf, Lacrosse, Music, Robotics, Softball, Speech, Synchronized Swimming, Tennis, Track and Field and Visual Arts. League activities and athletics for the spring season have been suspended since March 15.

Spring Sports Season Canceled

“This difficult decision was one we had hoped we would not need to make.” League Executive Director Erich Martens said. “Our activities and athletics offer so much to so many students and their school communities, and we thank all who work to provide these amazing opportunities for students. We also value the incredible benefits of strong and supportive connections between students and their coaches and advisors, and our hope is that these will continue even during this time when they are not able to participate or meet face to face.

“Our work will continue in providing leadership and guidance for our member schools and will soon turn to the summer and planning for a return to participation this fall. At this time, everything we can do to slow the spread and impacts of COVID-19 will help ensure the health of all, and will most certainly increase the chances that programming for students can return.”
