FORT IRWIN, Calif. — The Silver Valley Unified School District returned to its in-person hybrid model and small group cohorts on Jan. 19 and are on an “A-day” and “B-day” schedule.

Many have been awaiting word from California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) on how school sports will be conducted throughout the state in a COVID-19 environment.

“The latest information we have received from CIF is that all sports are now aligned with the tiers,” Michael Myer, assistant principal of Silver Valley High School said. “All Fall sports post-seasons have been cancelled. We are awaiting word from our leagues to see what the regular seasons will look like.”

This affects post-season playoffs for football, volleyball and cross country. Conditioning that was happening before Winter break was on hold until Feb. 1.

CIF has provided a map regarding specifics that includes tiers and is updated weekly at https://cifss.org/news/education-based-athletics-covid-19-tier-map-updated-12-29-20/?fbclid=IwAR3E4a9A1SDgOC6JLM-xbQZsUrobBikLa59ckTedO4QTpAHcnLwN7F2S6gA

“Now that we have this information, we are going to meet with the two leagues we participate in and see what direction and changes will result from the cancellations,” Myer said.”
