The PIAA BOD made no changes to the winter sports season however many District Chairs reported that leagues and individual schools have elected to delay their season.

The biggest discussion item revolved around the new mask orders mandated by DOH. The new order states that masks now must be worn at all times even by those students that are actively participating. The PIAA BOD and the motion approves encourages all schools to reach out to their Solicitor and get guidance specifically related to each individual school or District.

If any schools and/or leagues delay, please email William Marshall marshaww@pcam.org  with that specific information. PIAA wants to keep a database.
