NASHUA -The high school fall sports season is a go in New Hampshire, depending on what schools you’re talking about.

The New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association made it official today,formally announcing it is approving a fall sports season. It was reportedly understood in the last week this would be the action the NHIAA would take.

However, in the wake of the pandemic, it is delaying the start of fall practices, which were originally to begin on Aug. 14 for football and Aug. 17 for everything else, until Sept. 8. Decisions on the first date to play, the NHIAA said in a release, “will be forthcoming.”

Individual school districts will now have to decide whether to allow play and, if so, what sports to compete in.

“We recognize that returning to interscholastic competition this fall will be individual school decisions,” the NHIAA said in a statement.
