The Iowa High School Athletic Association and Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union announced on Friday a new timeline for the baseball and softball season. Practices for those summer sports will not begin on May 4th as originally scheduled but will now shift to May 18th.

June 1st will be the new first date of competition for baseball and softball.

This shift will help alleviate conflicts with spring sports which are tentatively set to begin on May 1st and conclude in early June.

Further updates will be announced as necessary by the two organizations.
