For those AD's that attended the KHSAA MS meeting back in September this information was covered, but just to make sure that everyone is on the same page, in 2020 KHSAA has mandated that the first Regular Season Middle School Contest for football can not be played until the Saturday before the High Schools first varsity game, for 2020 that would be Saturday, August 15, 2020. With that said, KYMSFA has made a few adjustments to its 2020 calendar of events that everyone needs to make note of:

KYMSFA playoff dates for 2020

KYMSFA was worked diligently trying to push back our playoffs as late as possible so teams can get in as many conference/regular season games as possible. Below is the new (and final) 2020 KYMSFA playoffs schedule.

October 17, 2020 - Play in Round (normally this round only has 5-7 games played that day in total)
October 24. 2020 - First Round
October 31, 2020 - Second Round
November 7 & 8, 2020 - Regional Finals
November 14 & 15, 2020 - Semi Finals
November 21 & 22, 2020 - Championships


What KYMSFA needs teams to do and know?

1. Please submit online registration ASAP, the quicker those get in, the quicker we can look at # of teams for 2020 to determine regional alignments by Division and how many games are need in those early rounds. This may perhaps give teams an extra week for a regular season game. (see link below)

2. Several have asked about the game minimum for playoffs, we are going to amend those for 2020 to the # of weeks we will have to be validated by (either 4 or 5 for 2020)

3. Seeding for the playoffs will be done like normal

4. Regional, Semi Finals, and Championship rounds may require Sunday game play.

5. Tryouts for Post season teams, these will be non contact tryouts for 2020, on Sundays in October. We are planning on regional based tryouts, to help with travel. Details and specific dates to follow in the next few weeks.

6. Be as flexible as you can, 2020 is not going to be a normal season.


All Star Classic 2020
After careful consideration, KYMSFA has decided not to have the All Star Classic Event this Thanksgiving weekend. However, we are planning on a new event for the spring, see below.


Spring 2021 New KYMSFA Event
Have you ever wondered what region is the best in the state? Yes some years, certain regions win more State Championships than others, but which region really is the best. Well in spring 2021 we are going to find out. In March 2021 KYMSFA will be hosting its first Region Battle in the Bluegrass. Make sure your players attend one of the October 2020 tryouts so they can be apart of this brand new event. Teams will be selected by Region (one 8th grade team, one 7th grade team,) 40 players per team, with coaching staffs from that region. Teams will get two Saturdays to practice together, and then come to town one weekend in March to battle it out against the other 3 regions in the state. More details will come on the event in the next few weeks. Right now we need coaches, a lot of them, to be apart of this new KYMSFA. Let me know if you are interested in coaching as staffs need to be selected soon.




As always contact one of your KYMSFA Board Members with any questions you have.
