PSAL UPDATES FALL 2020 

PSAL UPDATES FALL 2020 

As the pandemic continues to severely impact our communities, the PSAL would like to first recognize the difficulty and uncertainty of the times and also acknowledge that returning to normal activity will not be easy.  As we look ahead, we recognize the importance of sports to our scholar-athletes along with the rest of the PSAL community and are working diligently to provide athletics in accordance with all health and safety policies.  While we are anxious to reconvene PSAL activities, safeguarding the health and safety of our athletes is our top priority and sports programming will not return until it is safe to do so. 

The DOE released guidance regarding the current state of PSAL programming.  Based on all information available, including guidelines from the New York State Department of Health, the PSAL fall season is postponed.   

The DOE will continue to monitor city, state, and health officials’ updates to determine the appropriate return date for PSAL activities. Additional PSAL guidance can be found here.

  

The upcoming school year will be challenging for all of us, and in order to meet these challenges, we need to be nimble and adapt to the rapidly changing COVID-19 conditions that impact our communities.  PSAL is committed to working with all of you to ensure a safe return to athletics.
