Activities Association Gives Go-Ahead For Fall Sports

In an announcement made Tuesday afternoon, the Arkansas Activities Association says it is planning to resume all activities and athletics this fall. The plans are contingent upon compliance with directives issued by the governor’s office and the Arkansas Department of Health.

The association says it will coordinate efforts with the National Federation of High Schools, the sports medicine advisory committee, coaches and officials committees and other groups in formulating plans that will comply with all directives that will safely allow students to return to competition.

The announcement also noted that all states surrounding Arkansas are making similar plans to begin as scheduled this fall. Plans are also being discussed at every level in regard to scheduling adjustments if they become necessary.
