IMPORTANT UPDATE INFORMATION as of 11/20/2020:

As per our Safe Return to Athletics Plan, practices can continue through Tuesday, November 24. The cross country meet for Tuesday, November 24 will be cancelled. 

We will not have practice once we transition into contingency on November 30.  Coaches may provide individual workouts for athletes to practice skills and conditioning at home until practices may resume. We will plan to resume activities when we return to in-person learning at school in alignment with the metrics and our Safe Return to Athletics Plan. 

Although we always review AIA Guidelines, our timelines and plan may not fully coincide with theirs. When it is safe to play games and have competitions within Kyrene, we will provide a schedule for each sport.

Thank you for your flexibility and support for our Athletics program.

***Practice and game schedules vary per school.  In the event, that a team or school is impacted by

COVID-19, a game or meet may need to change locations or be cancelled and is not likely to be

able to be rescheduled.  Schedules and the format of practices or games may need to be

adjusted mid-season if there is a shift in the level of community spread.  Please be mindful of

these possibilities upon registration, we will not be able to issue refunds for athletics

participation fees as they are most commonly paid through non-refundable tax credits. ***
