Flagler Schools has had a successful pre-season of conditioning for our fall sports, with our teams adhering to a phase-in approach to returning our teams to the field or gym.
The aim now is to have Saturday, Sept. 5, as the official start date for fall sports in Flagler County high schools. Until that date, the current conditioning programs remain in place.
The Florida High School Athletic Association has approved Aug. 24 as a start date for high school athletic practices.
David Bossardet, the District’s Safety Specialist met with the athletic directors of each high school and received input from all fall sports coaches and some student-athletes.
Throughout our response to COVID-19, Flagler Schools has taken a cautious, measured approach to decision-making.
This pause in starting practices allows our schools to concentrate on the Aug. 24th initial return to campus for our students and staff.
Flagler Schools Superintendent Cathy Mittelstadt said “I recognize the importance of athletics to many of our students and our community. But we need to ensure we are doing all we can do to provide a safe environment for all our students and staff, including our athletic programs.”
