Nocetti spoke during a videoconference with the CIF Federated Council.

The California Interscholastic Federation, which governs high school sports, has resumed talks with state health officials in seeking a way to fulfill its plan to launch the 2020-21 high school sports season in December while dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Football practice is scheduled to begin Dec. 14, but the state guidelines must be revised for that to happen.  “Now that the California numbers are starting to show improvement, we’ve re-engaged with the California Department of Health when and how to return as scheduled in December,” CIF executive director Ron Nocetti said Friday. Social distancing rules could force districts to spend more money on transportation.

As for potential transportation issues, Nocetti said it’s up to each school and district to decide how athletes will be transported to games. “In the coming weeks, we need to have more discussions,” Nocetti said.  “We obviously want to hear from any school districts that have any concerns how they’re going to transport kids to games so we can bring that forward to the appropriate agencies,” he said. Nocetti said the CIF is prepared to move forward with its schedule of starting football games Jan. 8, but he added, “For that to happen we do need the state to allow high school sports.”
