Hollis Hawks Athletics Update

1/22/2021

The IESA updated their guidelines for winter sports. Hollis School will follow all guidelines established by the IESA and IDPH. These guidelines pertain to volleyball and boys basketball and state the following:

Medium Risk Sports (Volleyball)

Practice

1. Athletes must be meeting all eligibility requirements- academic compliance, current physical on file, etc.
2. Full practices may be conducted. These are considered regular season practices. Try-outs may be conducted and would be considered/counted as a practice.
3. Intra-squad scrimmages may be conducted with parental consent.

Contests

1. Inter-scholastic contests may be conducted with opponents within conference or EMS region. All contests must be conducted with opponents at a mitigation level that allows contests to be played.
2. A minimum of 7 days of practice must be completed prior to participation in a contest.

*Hollis is currently working on a plan to live stream all contests as spectators from either school will not be allowed to attend. We will be sending out a link for this as we approach the start of games. Many away games are following the similar practice of not allowing spectators to attend games, so we will share their live stream links as well.

High Risk Sports (Boys Basketball)

Practice

1. Athletes must be meeting all eligibility requirements- academic compliance, current physical on file, etc.
2. Full practices may be conducted. These are considered regular season practices. Try-outs may be conducted.
3. Intra-squad scrimmages may be conducted with parental consent.

Contests

1. No contests may be conducted.

*Please note the guidelines may change again and we will adjust accordingly. Practice and game schedules can be found on the Teams’ Calendar on the Hollis website. Please refer to the coaches for questions. Hollis is requiring all parents to submit a consent form before attending a full practice. This form can be emailed directly to families if you haven’t received it. Please contact Phil Quine (pquine@hollis328.net) for the link.
