MSHSAA is going to allow schools to be a little more flexible with its summer workouts this summer amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The Missouri State High School Activities Association announced Friday it has approved changes to its summer bylaws. By doing so, it has opened the door for possible summer contests.
Dependent upon approval from local and state health officials, the MSHSAA Board of Directors voted to make the summertime dead period and the summer limits on contact optional for summer 2020.
The bylaws require member schools to establish a dead period of nine-consecutive days beginning on a Saturday and lasting to the second following Sunday, in which no contact can take place between school coaches and directors and students enrolled at the school.
