Middlesex League Makes Changes To Winter Sports Schedule

READING, MA — The Middlesex League has agreed to a limited winter sports schedule that includes basketball, hockey, gymnastics and skiing. However, the sports that are played during the winter will be modified.

Winter sports will begin Dec. 14. Games will begin at the start of 2021. Teams will play a shortened schedule that consists of the same schools they played in the fall.

The league voted last week to move indoor track, wrestling and swimming to the Fall 2 season, which starts in February.

Some of the modifications to winter sports include maintaining social distancing as much as possible during practice, closing locker rooms, limiting crowds to just essential personnel and wearing face coverings during travel to and from games.
