Verona announced Monday that it will adopt a proposed WIAA model and will move its fall sports to spring of 2021, according to an announcement on Twitter and an update on its web page.

The Verona school district decided to suspend the fall 2020 sports season as currently scheduled, according to a release on its athletics site.

The Big Eight Conference previously said it won’t hold league competitions or name conference champions this fall. The four Madison public schools, Sun Prairie and Middleton have said they will seek to play in the alternative spring season being permitted by the WIAA for this school year due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic.

Verona said it will adopt the WIAA proposal to move the fall 2020 sports to spring 2021 for schools districts that cannot play in the fall and choose to play in the spring.

No seasons are supposed to be “eliminated in the WIAA’s truncated season model to make room for another season; this will be a shift of seasons within a truncated model for all seasons,” according to the release.

The WIAA is expected to provide further details. The WIAA Board of Control next meets Aug. 14.

Verona’s local decision is due to current public health sports guidelines in Dane County that the Dane County schools must adhere to, according to the release.
