Fall Sports in Kansas could move to spring

Kansas high school can move their fall sports seasons to the spring under a newly approved plan.

The Kansas State High School Activities Association Board of Directors voted 53-21 Friday to approve a proposal establishing an "Alternative fall" schedule. The vote followed a unanimous Monday vote in favor of the option by KSHSAA's executive board.

Kansas high schools have been split into two "bands," or groups: Class 6/5A and Class 4/3/2/1A. If at least half of the schools in each of those bands cancel fall activities, that majority would trigger the switch to a spring sports schedule.
