DENVER (CBS4) – The Colorado High School Activities Association released its plans for 2020-2021, and there are a lot of changes, including the seasons in which sports are played. Some of the major changes include shortening each season and moving football to the spring.

According to CHSAA, football and other contact sports were moved to a later season “due to the restrictive nature of the current state guidelines.” Under the modified sport schedule, football teams will be able to start practice on Feb. 22, and start competition on March 4. Teams will only play 7 games and the championship is tentatively scheduled for May 8, 2021.
