Georgia High School Association to allow football helmets beginning July 20
From Staff Reports
The Georgia High School Association and the Sports Medicine Advisory Council updated its Coronavirus Guidance Plan this week, allowing football players to wear helmets beginning Monday, July 20.
The GHSA elected to implement the use of football helmets with the stipulation that schools must sanitize the helmet before and after each workout. All previously distributed correspondence is still in place until further notice, especially no use of locker rooms.
The GHSA and the SMAC have started the discussion concerning the start of the acclimatization period (beginning July 27), first date for practice (Aug. 1) and the first contest date (different for each sport/activity). More information will be available following next week’s meeting.
