In releasing a new sports calendar, the state's governing body for high school sports might be giving the state's more than 800,000 athletes their best opportunity to have a sports season in the 2020-21 school year.

The City Section and Southern Section both announced that football practice would begin Dec. 14, with games beginning on Jan. 8. High school football practice was scheduled to begin Aug. 3, with games Aug. 21.

The start of the high school sports season in California will be delayed until December or January, the California Interscholastic Federation announced Monday.

Baseball and softball championships will conclude on June 19 and June 26.

In an unprecedented decision, the CIF will allow athletes to participate on club teams at the same time as their high school seasons in a temporary suspension of CIF rules.

Schools used to have to forfeit games when players were caught participating on outside teams during the season of their sport.

"It is unprecedented times and given that not one sport didn't have its calendar changed, we felt we needed to be flexible," said Ron Nocetti, executive director of the CIF.
