After two emergency FHSAA board meetings in July, the organization will have even more on its plate when it convenes again Friday morning in Gainesville to address how best to play high school sports during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Florida High School Athletic Association’s 16-person board will weigh fresh statements made by Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Marco Rubio calling for the association to stick with its current Aug. 24 start date for official fall tryouts and practices.
It will also be looking at an updated report from its Sports Medicine Advisory Committee (SMAC), which “strongly recommends” another postponement to allow time to evaluate “crucial” COVID-19 data for three to four weeks after schools have opened.
