Fall Sports in High School

Football, soccer, cross country, and volleyball all have one thing in common: they are all fall sports. But when does the fall sports season end in high school? This can vary from state to state, but typically, the fall sports season ends in early November. For some states, the fall sports season ends with the conclusion of the football season. Other states may have championships for other fall sports that extend into late November or early December.

Football

High school football is one of the most popular sports in the United States. More than 1 million boys and girls play on 11,500 teams in schools across the country.

The season typically runs from August through November. Most schools play 10 or 11 regular-season games, followed by a postseason playoff tournament. The playoffs culminate in state championship games, which are usually held in December.

Soccer

High school soccer typically runs from early August to late October, with playoffs lasting into November.

Cross Country

Cross country is a sport in which teams and individuals run a race on open-air courses over natural terrain such as dirt or grass. The sport is one of the oldest running sports, having origins in ancient Greece. It is different from track and field events, which are also running sports, in that Cross country courses are not held on a track, rather they are set on hilly or other natural terrain.

The primary governing body for high school cross country is the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), which conducts the annual National High School Cross Country Championships. Most secondary schools in the United States offer cross country as a fall sport for boys and girls at the junior varsity and varsity level. Some states hold separate meets for middle school runners (grades 6-8).

The season typically starts in August and ends in November. The date of the NFHS championships varies each year, but it is usually held on the first Saturday of December.

Volleyball

Volleyball is a fall sport that typically ends in late October or early November. The length of the season depends on how far the team goes in the playoffs.

Water Polo

Water polo is a fall sport that consists of seven players on each team. The game is played in a swimming pool with a goal at each end. The object of the game is to score by throwing the ball into the opposing team’s goal.

Players can only use one hand to touch the ball and they can only hold the ball for three seconds. Water polo is a very physical sport and players often use their bodies to block opponents from getting to the ball.

The game is divided into four quarters, each lasting eight minutes. There is a two-minute break between the first and second quarters and halftime is five minutes long. The fourth quarter is two minutes shorter than the other quarters.

Water polo is considered to be one of the most physically demanding sports in the world. Players must be in excellent physical condition to play water polo at a high level.
