Unless otherwise directed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the PIAA will move forward with a normal start to fall sports.

Heat acclimatization for football will begin August 10 and the remaining fall sports’ first practice date will be August 17.

“Our focus is the health and safety of student athletes which is paramount in moving forward with athletics,” the PIAA said in a tweet.
