The Oregon School Activities Association Executive Board has revised the organizations calendar for high school athletics, pushing back the start of competition to the beginning of March and changing its plans to now start with fall sports and move primarily indoor winter sports to late spring.  Fall sports would begin practice in February with multiple activities permitted by state guidance in the hope that COVID-19 case counts decrease in the new year.  Cross country and soccer, as outdoor sports, are permitted by the state in all counties, while as an indoor activity volleyball is tied to the Governor’s County Risk Level, and football remains on the Governor’s prohibited list of activities at this time.  Traditional Spring activities that are all permitted by state guidance as outdoor activities would begin April 5 and extend into the third week in May.  The calendar would wrap up with traditional winter sports including swimming, basketball and wrestling beginning in mid-May and extending into late June.  The board reasons the shift of wrestling and basketball to the end of the calendar provides the most runway for their prohibition to be lifted by the state.  Activities like choir and band/orchestra have been pushed back to the end of the school year to provide their programs the opportunity to rehearse in person if school district policy allows.  Cheerleading and dance/drill culminating weeks have also been adjusted to allow more time for facilities to open or have weather improve enough to move outdoors.
