CIF Updates Guidance on 2020-21 Sports Calendar

Sacramento, CA...The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) has determined, in collaboration with our 10 Sections, that education-based athletics for the 2020-2021 school year will begin with a modified season of sport schedule (see following pages for 2020-21 sports calendar). Our calendar reflects the season for each CIF sport and the last date for Section Championships and Regional/State Championships in those sports where a Regional/State Championship is currently offered. Following this announcement, each CIF Section Office will release their own calendar to reflect regular season starting and ending dates and Section playoffs. It is anticipated that most Section start dates will commence in December 2020 or January 2021.




We are continuously monitoring the directives and guidelines released from the Governor's Office, the California Department of Education, the California Department of Public Health, and local county health departments and agencies as these directives and guidelines are followed by our member schools/school districts with student health and safety at the forefront. As these guidelines change, CIF Sections may allow for athletic activity to potentially resume under the summer period rules of the local Section. Also, given this calendar change, the CIF has temporarily suspended Bylaws 600-605 (Outside Competition) in all sports for the 2020-21 school year (see the following pages for more specific information related to these changes).

Pursuant to Bylaw 1108, the CIF Executive Director issues the following notice:
Temporary Extension of Bylaws 501.F and 501.G (Summer Period)
Given that the CIF has moved the start of its traditional seasons of sport to December 2020,
once allowed by the appropriate state and local agencies, CIF Sections may extend their
summer period up until the first date of their Fall regular season sports calendar. All summer
period activities must be authorized by the member school’s principal/designee. As per CIF
Article 23, local schools, school districts, leagues, and Sections may develop a more restrictive
rule than the CIF State Office with respect to the aforementioned Bylaws.
Temporary Reconfiguration of Bylaws 504.E. and H. (Season of Sport)

As per the 2020-21 sports calendar above, the CIF has made adjustments to the traditional
seasons of sport. Each CIF Section will release their own calendar to reflect regular season
starting and ending dates and Section playoffs. It is anticipated that most Section start dates
will commence in December 2020 or January 2021.

Temporary Suspension of Bylaws 600-605 (Outside Competition)
Due to the need to move sports to non-traditional times of the year, the CIF is temporarily
suspending Bylaws 600, 601, 602, 603, 604, and 605 for all sports for the 2020-21 school year.
Accordingly, students will be allowed to participate on an outside team at the same time they
participate on their high school team. As per CIF Article 23, local schools, school districts,
leagues, and Sections may develop a more restrictive rule than the CIF State Office with respect
to the aforementioned Bylaws.

Each of the above Bylaw modifications are effective as of July 20, 2020 and remain in effect for
the 2020-21 school year only.
