MECHANICSBURG, Pa. – After meeting with representatives from Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf’s administration Friday, Aug. 14, the PIAA has concerns that Wolf’s recommendation not to play high school sports until at least Jan. 1, 2021, because of the COVID-19 pandemic is not based upon Pennsylvania’s sport-specific data.

The PIAA is also concerned that Wolf’s recommendation is being perceived as a mandate by members schools despite the fact the governor, himself, said it was not a mandate and it was just his recommendation.
According to a release from the PIAA, it is “very aware” of the negative impact the postponement of fall sports would have upon its 350,000 student-athletes and their families.
