VHSL teams prep for start of winter sports workouts

Guidelines from state health officials are expected to be announced as high schools around Virginia prepare for the start of team practices in just over a month.

Virginia High School League Executive Director Billy Haun says there’s been no change in the organization’s plans to let schools start workouts Dec. 7 and official winter sports game schedules commence two weeks later.

A plan approved by members schools earlier this summer will have teams have a 60 percent regular season followed by abbreviated regional and state tournaments. Fall sports such as football will begin in February.
