While their colleagues at the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association have met remotely over the past month to hold continued discussions in an attempt to salvage a spring high school sports season, the Pioneer Valley Interscholastic Athletic Conference (PVIAC) held a teleconference meeting to discuss activities on the local front this week.

Forty-four athletic directors from Western Massachusetts schools were on the conference over Zoom, directed by PVIAC Executive Director Lou Conte, including local ADs Mike Kuchieski (Greenfield), Adam Graves (Turners Falls), Joe Gamache (Franklin Tech), Carl Cyr (Frontier) and Dan Bevis (Athol).

While the group did not vote or make any final decisions, there was discussion about a number of topics as the PVIAC made preparations for a potential spring campaign.

The organization said that if the season moves forward as currently constituted with a May 4 opening day, games would begin on May 11. That would mean over a month of the season would already have been lost, and schools “would do away with all current spring sport schedules,” according to minutes provided from the meeting. That would mean crafting new slates for teams to put together a roughly one month regular season.

There has been considerable talk during MIAA meetings about postseason tournaments, as the organizations grapples with a potential cut-off date in which the season would have to start in order for a proper postseason to be conducted. The PVIAC tossed around ideas and suggestions about that very topic, wondering that if the MIAA doesn’t have a tournament, would they still want to try and conduct Western Mass. tourneys. The conclusion came that if so, it could be a condensed version, though the PVIAC is taking its cues from the MIAA, which is taking its cues from Gov. Charlie Baker’s office in regards to the opening of schools throughout the Commonwealth.

Other topics discussed this week included fall games, as PVIAC ADs were asked to confirm all fall schedules. The meeting also:

■ Discussed aspects of user fees, if no season or part of season.

■ Discussed coaches’ stipends, if no season or part of season.

■ Physicals — regarding the date, may need clarification.

■ Chemical health violation — it was felt that a violator would still have to serve his/her suspension if there is a spring season, if not it would carry over to the fall.

While the MIAA’s Executive Board will meet again early next week, the PVIAC confirmed it will do its due diligence in hopes of still playing games this spring.

“The PVIAC will be ready if we return to school,” the minutes concluded.
