The Maryland State Department of Education has just recently passed a proposal to allow the winter sports season to begin on December 7, 2020. 

Practices will begin December 7 with competition commencing on January 4. The competitive season would last six weeks, wrapping up on February 13.

The new plan also provides longer seasons, and allows for more flexibility. With this plan, fall sports will begin shortly after winter sports end, with competition from March 5 to April 17. Finally, the Spring Sports season will begin competition on May 7 and last through June 19.
