NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association board of control held a meeting Wednesday in which it decided all fans must wear face coverings at games this fall.
Board members said the goal is to have a regular season, but in order to do that, there will be no co-practices, scrimmages or jamborees this year.
The TSSAA passed all COVID-19 safety provisions recommended by the board of control for all sports for fall seasons, including temperature checks which must be lower than 100.4.
They also decided students can play sports regardless of if their district is using virtual instruction.
Things like bands and concessions at games were discouraged.
"Due to the potential increased risk of virus transmission during certain activities, the use of school bands at contests is discouraged. If the band is present, limit to a halftime performance or relocate the band from the stands to other available areas away from crowds and increase the amount of physical distance between band members. Increase the amount of physical distance between cheerleaders as well as between cheerleaders and other persons if projected voices are to be used."
