After the 5-4 decision at a Jan. 12 AIA board meeting to reinstate the winter sports season, boys and girls basketball, soccer and wrestling will start as (re)scheduled on Jan. 18.
Players and coaches are required to wear a cloth mask or gaiter that covers their nose and mouth during games.
Board member Jim Love changed his vote Jan. 12. Within hours of the Jan. 8 vote, the Arizona Basketball Coaches Association and Arizona Youth Soccer Association were in discussions to set up basketball and soccer seasons that would closely resemble the AIA season in terms of schools and players participating.
