Updated March 14, 2020
The Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association (NIAA) is announcing the suspension of NIAA sanctioned sports for all of its member schools effective Monday, March 16 until further notice. Member schools and/or districts, as a local decision, may suspend sports at their school prior to March 16.
During the suspension, NIAA member schools are not to compete in games or contests. Member schools are not to conduct practices in NIAA sanctioned sports at any location. Neither member schools nor their coaches nor student athletes are to hold meetings. Member schools are not to allow students or coaches at any NIAA member school to use the school’s athletic facilities for a practice, game or contest in any NIAA sanctioned sport regardless of the affiliation (club or
otherwise) of the group seeking to use the facilities. The use of athletic facilities for currently scheduled classes as a part of the regular school curriculum such as P.E. classes is allowed.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Las Vegas announced Friday it was suspending all extra curricular activities for its schools, which includes national power
Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas), based on the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.
This decision comes a day after the Clark County School District suspended athletic events, extra curricular activities and assemblies, according to media reports. Last week, the district also suspended out-of-state travel.
