State College Area High School’s Board of School Directors votes to allow fall contact, non-contact sports

State College Area High School will have competitions for its fall sports teams this year.

The State College Area School District Board of School Directors met Wednesday night for its weekly school board and committee meeting via Zoom, and by a vote of 9 to 0, non-contact sports were approved along with a vote of 7 to 2 to approve contact sports this fall.

The decision was made in light of health concerns related to playing fall sports amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association said Aug. 21 via Twitter that individual schools could choose whether or not they wanted to play fall sports.
