Director of Athletics Logan Condon sent out an email to all Masters families on Nov. 19, stating that the winter sports season is scheduled to take place this year. The season will run from Tuesday, Dec. 1 until Friday, Mar. 5. While teams are set to begin training soon, the school is waiting for further guidance from the New York State Department of Health and Masters’s Health Advisory Team regarding “intrasquad competitions.” Like the fall season, COVID-19 protocols have been instituted to ensure sports can be played in a safe environment for all players and coaches.
