School Calendar

Cardinal Gibbons Athletics today announces the following:

1. Official start of Fall sports is delayed to September 1.
2. A Dead Period will be implemented from August 12 – August 19. These dates will vary a little by school to match up with each school’s respective start of school year.
3. Phase I of optional summer workouts and conditioning may continue before (and after) the Dead Period from August 12 – 19. It is not clear if/when the NCHSAA will progress to Phase II of workouts.
4. We will continue to keep our weight room closed indefinitely.
5. The earliest we will look at opening for Winter optional workouts would be September 1. It is not clear at this time whether the NCHSAA will have a Dead Period for Winter/Spring teams as is traditional at the start of every Fall sport season.

Please see the Parent Playbook web page for more on health and safety protocols, team schedules and more details.
