The CIAC released its 2021 Spring Sports plan to state athletic directors and to the public Thursday morning, including dates for the state tournaments and similar COVID-19 mitigation strategies as the fall season. That means masks will not be required during play for outdoor sports, except for close contact on sidelines and dugouts. But host of COVID-19 safety strategies set by the state Dept. of Health remain.
The 2021 season will begin with training on March 28 — baseball pitchers and catchers can report March 20 — and competition will begin April 10.
