Royal Oak Athletics/MHSAA Update: August 14, 2020

First and foremost, thank you to everyone for your outstanding effort, flexibility, and attention to detail throughout this 1st week of Fall sports.  As a result, we were able to register many student athletes and have a successful week of practice.  The enthusiasm of our athletes and coaches is extremely refreshing. Screening surveys, temperature checks, mask wearing, and social distancing will continue to be our foundation for safe practice and play.  

With that being said, we received the news Friday that Football will be postponed until Spring 2021. We feel for our Football coaches and student athletes, as they have worked extremely hard in preparation for this Fall.  While there are many details to be discussed, we do know that the MHSAA is committed to providing this opportunity to our football players and coaches this Spring, an opportunity they overwhelmingly have earned.

As of now, all other Fall sports are set to proceed with specific playing details on soccer, volleyball, and swim to be shared with Athletic Departments next week (by August 20th).  Please click on the following link to view the MHSAA release: (link) 

Please know there are still many moving parts and many Fall decisions to be made (scheduling, spectators, playing guidelines, etc).  Not to mention, now the possibility of moving to a 4 season sport year, Fall, Winter, Spring 1, and Spring 2.  Seasons may be shortened, start dates updated, and playing rules and guidelines adjusted.  If you are interested in viewing the MHSAA current play protocols and guidelines for our upcoming Fall sports, please choose one of the following links:
 
While there remain uncertainties, one thing that remains certain is that as we are provided information, we will be sure to share that information with you through direct coach communication and our online home for Royal Oak Athletics, www.goroathletics.org.  Thank you for your participation, patience and flexibility.  TOGETHER, we will do our best to provide our student athletes and coaches with the safest athletic opportunities possible this school year.  As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact Royal Oak Athletic Director Don Watchowski, donald.watchowski@royaloakschools.org.  GORO!
