DENVER (CBS4)– Gov. Jared Polis announced on Wednesday that the state will conditionally approve the Colorado High School Activities Association’s request to make certain outdoor sports available this fall. Those sports would then be played in the “A” season should the CHSAA board and local communities choose to move forward.

These outdoor sports include football, field hockey, cheer, and dance. Schools will still have the choice to offer these sports in the “C” season if they prefer.

However, if a community falls out of compliance and more coronavirus cases are documented to escalate to Level 3 in the “Safer at Home Public Health Order 20-35,” the approval will be re-evaluated. It may even be rescinded in that community.
