GHSA to push start of football back 2 weeks

The Georgia High School Association held a private meeting earlier today to discuss the upcoming fall football season start dates and schedules. The meeting was not broadcast publicly, but according to the GHSA’s meeting minutes, the competition date for football will be pushed back for two weeks, but the football conditioning and all other sports starting dates are unchanged.

The first football games will be held on labor day weekend, with scrimmages on August 21st and 28th.

There will be a full regular season and a full playoff schedule as of right now.

Practice will begin next Monday, with pads starting August 1st.

The start date for the rest of fall sports has not been altered and is as follows:

  • Softball: August 6
  • Cheerleading: August 8
  • Cross Country: August 10
  • Volleyball: August 10

This is a developing story, please stay tuned for updates as more details of the meeting are released.
