In his announcement concerning youth and high school sports in New York, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced that wrestling, and other sports he considers high risk, may practice but are not yet cleared to compete.
A graphic posted by Dr. Robert Zayas, the Executive Director of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYPHSAA), said the following:
Higher risk sports with full-physical contact like tackle football, wrestling, rugby and ice hockey, may continue to practice but are not authorized to play.
The Cuomo annoucement allows for what Cuomo calls "lower risk" sports, like tennis, soccer, cross country, field hockey and swimming to practice and play beginning September 21.
According to Zayas' tweet which is posted on the NYSPHSAA site, the Section Executive Directors and the COVID-19 Task Force will meet today to work on specific guidance to be reported later.
