The Scioto Valley Conference released a statement regarding contact sports Wednesday afternoon.
“As of today, there is a Testing Mandate (Covid-19) from the Ohio Department of Health. As long as this mandate is in place there will be no contact sports. For the SVC that means soccer and football.”
The release added “If the mandate is lifted, soccer will be played as scheduled. Football will have a modified schedule. League games will begin Friday August 28. League games will continue through Friday October 2. These six league dates will determine the league championship. October 9 all SVC schools will be participating in the State playoffs. The seventh league game (October 16) will be optional for schools to play or not. As circumstances change, adjusts may need to be made.”
As for rest SVC sanctioned fall sports (golf, girls tennis, cross country and volleyball) they will go on as scheduled. The exception is the SVC Volleyball Preview which has been cancelled.
