During a city School Board meeting on October 13, officials gave the green light for students to begin outdoor conditioning. So far, the division has approved conditioning for:
- Football
- Marching Band
- Wresting
- Baseball
- Basketball
- Outdoor track
- Cheer
- Girls lacrosse
- Field hockey
If students haven’t made a full return to in-person learning by early December, it’s unlikely the city school division’s athletes will be able to participate, said Manassas City School Board Chairman At-large Sanford Williams. “Wrestling starts December 7, and it seems that is a place where you can spread the virus.”
The city School Board is expected to vote on whether or not the division will participate in the state’s scholastic high school sports program at its next meeting on November 10, the last scheduled School Board meeting before the start of the season.
