Released by GCS.
Greenville County Schools is pleased to announce its high school football schedule for the 2020 season.
This schedule allows for up to seven games of regional play.
Teams that don’t make the playoffs can add an 8th game.
Our deepest thanks to everyone involved in making this upcoming season happen.
Please note the upcoming season is subject to students attending in-person school at least one day per week, as well as the COVID-19 spread-rate.
Also, plans for spectators at football games are not finalized at this time.
Any plans will include social distancing and other safety protocols.
The SCHSL is considering instituting limits on spectators, either by numbers or by percentage of occupancy limits, but may also leave this determination up to individual districts.
Meanwhile, players and coaches will practice social-distancing whenever possible, including the trip to and from games and while using locker facilities.
Additionally, the district purchased 4,000 buff-style masks for student athletes to use during practice and game play.
We look forward to an exciting season!
