The OSAA is considering moving golf and tennis, which are usually spring sports. into the fall

epidemiologist, said that state
offi cials are taking a close
look as to what sports could
be played and still considered
safe if their isn’t effective
treatment for the coronavi-
rus in the fall.
“Non-contact
sports,
things like golf or tennis,
where people can maintain
a distance are probably some
of the things we’re going
to see coming back fi rst,”
Sidelinger said. “For some of
these other sports, basketball,
football, and other things
where there is more close
contact, obviously there is
more risk.”
Weber said that cross
country is another sport that
could come back in the fall,
but he also stated that “this
might look different for in-
dividual fall sports,” which
could possibly be pushed
back a month, or even into a
different season.
If a sport like football is
allowed to be played this
fall, the amount of spectators
allowed in the stands will
be dictated by the Oregon
Health Authority.
“The spectator aspect will
be out of our hands,” Weber
said.
If fall sports are allowed
to go on as scheduled, but
without spectators, Weber
said that the OSAA will
likely use their partnership
with NFHS Network (Na-
tional Federation of State
High School Associations)
to stream a larger amount
of games for fans and family
members.
But before any of those
options come to fruition,
the OSAA wants in-person
class to return in the fall if
any kind of sports are going
to take place.
“We’re school-based, ed-
ucation-based activities. We
need our kids to be back in
school in some way, shape or
form. That’s a big piece to all
of this,” Weber said.
