Governor Janet Mils’ administration announced changes to Maine’s guidance about community sports that allow for all levels of play for sports deemed low-risk.
Low-risk sports include golf, individual swimming, gymnastics and weightlifting.
The changes also allow most levels of play for moderate-risk sports, and for the resumption of within-team competition for high-risk sports, the administration said. Moderate-risk sports include baseball, soccer and ice hockey while high-risk sports include football and wrestling.
“The Maine Principals Association has committed to aligning its guidance for school sports with this revised guidance for community sports,” the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development said in a statement.
