The Fargo Moorhead Athletics Youth Football announced the league is moving forward with the 2020 season in a press release Monday morning.
Under current rules all games will be held in Fargo.
Masks may be required. There are clear shields like what the NFL is looking at that will be available through Scheels. At this time, it is uncertain that cloth masks will be used.
All late fees are being waived for this year. The fundraiser cards at $100 per player will be required as usual. It is optional to sell them or keep them for personal distribution. This is to allow for social distancing.
Rosters will be finalized by Wednesday, July 15.
