UPDATE ON FALL 2020 NMAA SPORTS IN NEW MEXICO

Per the NM Governor’s Office Announcement today, October 8, 2020 at 3 pm announcing that all Fall sports will be postponed until the Spring semester of 2021 in the State of NM. 

Also, the NMAA has released a statement “NMAA FORCED TO POSTPONE FALL SPORTS DUE TO GOVERNOR’S ORDERS” released October 8, 2020.

For SFIS students this means that SFIS may participate in all sports next semester starting with basketball Jan. 4, 2021, followed by all fall sports (FB, XC, VB and Soccer) in the beginning of March 2021 and then Spring sports (Softball, Baseball and Track) starting in the beginning of May 2021.  This is dependent on the status of the COVID-19 virus and State Guidelines on re-opening of Sports.

If you have currently started playing at your home district school for Volleyball or Cross Country, you may continue workouts with that team if you wish and if the home district allows you to do so.  If SFIS participates in sports in 2021 you must return to our SFIS teams to participate, and if we are not participating in the sport you can play at your home district school.

Decisions on the start of Basketball will be made close to the end of the 2020 Fall semester and will be based on the status of our campus being opened, dorm availability, transportation availability, Tribal Governors, Board of Trustees, and Administrative input with the safety of students and staff will serve as our Opening guide.

 If you have questions please email SFIS Athletic Director Eric Brock at efbrock@sfis.k12.nm.us or call 505-989-6350.

Respectfully,

 Eric Brock, Athletic Director
