​

HHSAA postpones start of moderate and high‐risk fall sports  The Hawaii High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) executive board approved by majority  vote to postpone the start of moderate‐ and high risk fall sports to January 2021, which affects cheerleading, cross country, football, and girls volleyball. Air riflery and bowling are classified 

as  low risk sports with the implementation of safety guidelines and are slated to proceed in the fall as scheduled.  

 

The action by the board was based on public health and safety due to the rising number  of positive COVID‐19 cases statewide. 

Additionally, other HHSAA‐sanctioned sports classified as  low risk were no moved up on the calendar to avoid the possibility of missed class time when  students and teachers are adjusting to new routines at the start of the new school year. 

 

“The HHSAA will continue to work with our member leagues in determining where to  place these affected sports,” said HHSAA Executive Director Chris Chun. “If our state can 

flatten the curve, hopefully, these sports will be able to be played at some point in the school 

year.”
