CIAC postpones winter sports start until Jan. 19, 2021

The CIAC Board of Control voted Tuesday to postpone the start of the high school winter sports season until Jan. 19, 2021.

Here’s what CIAC executive director Glenn Lungarini sent out to state athletic directors:

CIAC Board of Control Action on Winter Sports

Hello Athletics Directors,

The CIAC Board of Control acted this morning to postpone all winter sports to January 19, 2021. The CIAC Board of Control will continue to collaborate with the DPH, Governor Lamont’s office, and the CSMS Sports Medicine Committee in the weeks leading up to the January 19th start of winter practices. CIAC Interscholastic athletics are an education-based experience that maintains in-person learning and the health and safety of our school communities as our top priority. Today’s action supports our member schools while they continue manage rising COVID numbers within their communities and experience widespread movements to distance learning.

Thank you,
Glenn Lungarini
Executive Director
