The Northampton Health Department lifted its order restricting sports in Northampton. Now that the local order has been rescinded, the controlling guidelines for sports participation will be the Phase III, Step 1 Workplace Safety and Reopening Standards for Businesses and Other Entities Providing Youth and Adult Ameteur Sports Activies, as Amended on February 8, 2021 and the MIAA Fall II Rules Modifications and Guidelines.
Based on change of local guidance, the Northampton Public Schools will offer the following modified sports in the Fall II Season which is currently ongoing:
Football
Boys and Girls competitive basketball (without spectators)
Unified Basketball (without spectators)
Track and Field (events to be held outdoors)
Swimming and Diving (meets held virtually)
As has been the case for all other athletic activities open to our student-athletes during the Pandemic, these sports will be played with modified rules and/or enhanced safety precautions to mitigate the risk of disease spread.
If you or your child is interested in the Fall II season, we encourage you to reach out to the Athletic Department at 587-1356.
