It's official ... no high school football during 2020 in California -- the season will now begin in January and could pose some serious issues for multi-sport athletes.
The California Interscholastic Federation issued a statement Monday, saying most teams can begin to practice in December with a January kickoff date for regular-season games. Football season in CA usually begins in either late August or early September -- but COVID has obviously thrown a wrench in the usual plans.
Now, the season will run through April -- which could force some top multi-sport athletes across the state to make some tough choices. Both baseball, basketball and track are now scheduled to begin around March -- and it could be very difficult or even impossible for players to meaningfully contribute in those sports at the same time.
