OSHKOSH (NBC 26) -- The Oshkosh Area School District announced Tuesday it's postponing high school fall sports for 2020.
In a statement posted online, the school district says it plans to hold high school fall sports in the spring of 2021. OASD said no seasons will be eliminated (winter, fall, or spring) to make room for another season. Instead, the school district said this will be a shift of seasons within an abbreviated model for all sports.
"The new anticipated high school athletics schedule will be winter, fall, and then spring," OASD says. "Additionally, at this time the OASD’s middle school cross country and girls volleyball seasons have been postponed. The OASD will continue to explore options at the middle school level, including moving these seasons to sometime later in the school year."
The school district said this plan is in alignment with the model provided by the WIAA. Last week, the body that governs Wisconsin high school sports approved a major overhaul to season structures heading into the new school year.
This announcement from the Oshkosh school district follows similar announcements from Green Bay and Appleton school districts, who have also elected to move and alter their sports schedules.
