PVHS is currently following the guidelines of the LA County Department of Public Health for Youth Sports Leagues and K-12 School Reopening protocols.

LA County has been in the “purple” tier causing severe restrictions limiting the ability to hold proper practices.

 Due to a recent spike in COVID-19 cases, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced they would be postponing the updated guidelines. 

Without the new guidelines, teams are unable to move forward into more advanced practices to prepare for the season. 

 There is no knowledge of when games will officially start, but there is some scheduling taking place. CIF competitions are not allowed until new guidelines have been released. 

Most schools are waiting for classes to be held on campus to allow their students to compete.

Every week that goes by without further instructions leads athletes, coaches, and parents to believe there might not be a season. 

“CIF has done an excellent job throughout the entire pandemic in trying to create a way for everyone to be able to get their seasons in… our school district has also been extremely supportive of getting our athletic programs operational as well,”  Athletic Director Brian Shapiro said. 

“There are a lot of rules to follow and papers to sign off on, and our school district has been a leader in the South Bay in maximizing what our student-athletes are able to do.” 

CIF season will remain unknown until restrictions and COVID-19 cases minimize.
