The Iowa High School Athletic Association and Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union have released an updated summer sports schedule due to the shortened spring season.
Practice for baseball and softball would begin on May 18th, with the first competitions taking place as soon as June 1st. There would still be potential overlap for spring sports athletes, as most state tournaments will take place in June, especially for tennis, golf, and soccer, as most of their tournaments would take place after June 6th. The new start date for softball and baseball’s pitching and catching is currently May 1. The IHSAA will provide for 10 days of batting practice between May 1 and May 18.
Postseason host sites and state championship event venues are currently set as previously announced. Any changes or updates will be announced as they become available.
• The IGHSAU and IHSAA have not set a maximum or minimum number for competition dates within this adjusted schedule. Previously stated competition limits apply for each sport. Member schools may determine their own regular seasons which are best suited to their school schedules and activities.
• Golf postseason dates may vary due to course availability.
• Member schools with contracted dates or facilities should contact those partners regarding lost or potentially lost agreements. Contact IGHSAU and IHSAA administrators for assistance as necessary.
