The uncertainty of 2020 has undoubtedly followed us into 2021. Since last spring, student-athletes at Fieldston have not been able to participate in competition. However, the final sports season of the 2020-2021 school year is up in the air. As the Secretary of Athletics, it is my responsibility to communicate with Gus Ornstein and propose to him my ideas of how sports can return to Fieldston this year. In a conversation with him last week, he stated that there is currently no final decision on the spring season. However, beginning in late February and early March, spring teams will commence practices. Though competition is still up in the air, students should have faith that our Director of Athletics is working as hard as possible to give our spring athletes some competition in the coming months. The CDC has labeled which sports are low, moderate, or high risk for athletes, and as of now, lacrosse is the only sport on the high-risk level for activities, making it the most uncertain of the spring sports. The upcoming month is a critical period for the final decision on the spring sports as our athletic enjoyment is balanced with our health and safety. In the meantime, we can only hope that we will have a season, knowing that Gus will keep us informed on the latest updates.
