The Eau Claire Area School District has announced that it will postpone all fall sports seasons and offer them in the spring season of 2021, in alignment with an alternative model provided by the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association.
In examining the upcoming seasons, school and district administration determined that the district’s hybrid instructional model, coupled with the Eau Claire City-County Health Department’s current order (see below) and its physical distancing requirements, would make it extremely difficult to implement and schedule practices, games, and matches.
The postponement will affect all fall sports, including cheer and stunt, boys’ and girls’ cross country, football, girls’ golf, boys’ soccer, girls’ volleyball, girls’ swimming and girls’ tennis.
