The annual three-week practice period got underway Monday at high school athletics facilities across the state.

 

But with COVID-19 cases on the rise throughout West Virginia – even forcing one West Virginia high school to shut down workouts on Monday – we spoke with WVSSAC Executive Director Bernie Dolan on the topics of the Phase 1 and 2 conditioning periods, and what could be the scenarios and factors for high school sports moving forward.

 

When asked about the first two phases that allowed teams to workout, Dolan said, “I think everybody liked the first two phases gave them an opportunity to get back with their kids, and begin to reconnect.

So, it’s certainly a different level.”
