The Foothills Council is awaiting a meeting of member school superintendents later Tuesday afternoon before announcing its plans for the upcoming fall sports season.

Steve Nolan, the league president and Amsterdam athletic director, said a meeting of athletic administrators earlier Tuesday indicated school athletic departments were prepared to play low- and moderate-risk sports this fall amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Nolan said the league was planning to go ahead with golf, girls tennis and cross country, all considered low-risk sports by the state Department of Health. He said the league also made up schedules for field hockey and boys and girls soccer, but did not mention girls swimming. He added that field hockey and soccer were up in the air pending the superintendents’ meeting, and could move to the early spring.

“We’re trying to hold onto what we can and do it safely,” Nolan said.

Football and volleyball were moved to the “Fall II season” — the window from March 1 to the first week of May — by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association last week. Low- and moderate-risk sports were given the green light to begin practicing on Monday, Sept. 21.

NYSPHSAA is leaving it up to individual sections to determine what sports they will play this fall, if any. Some sections have chosen to defer all fall sports until early spring. Section II is leaving it up to individual leagues and schools how they want to approach the fall season. NYSPHSAA and Section II had earlier canceled all fall sports championships.
