AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) – Students and their families from Northern Colorado high schools traveled to the offices of Colorado High School Activities Association leaders on Monday to call on a change in policies for fall sports during the COVID-19 pandemic so they include football and volleyball.

“I thought it was important to be here because every voice matters and I think the more voices that can be heard, the bigger change that we have,” said Sara Wiley, a senior at Akron High School. “There are going to be risks no matter what we do and if we take the proper precautions that we should be able to have a season.”

Students waved and held signs on all corners of the intersection in front of the CHSAA building in Aurora in the morning. One parent told CBS4 they tried to get closer to the main office but the doors were locked. These families traveled into the Denver metro area just to bring more awareness to their frustration about a pending decision by the governing body for high school sports in the state. Students across Colorado have voiced similar concerns in the past week while the governor’s office and CHSAA say they’re discussing what might be possible in the fall.
