Girls soccer season to move to fall in 2012

The Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association Board of Control on Wednesday voted to allow the Clark County School District to continue playing girls soccer in the winter for one more season.

However the board unanimously voted to move the area’s Class 4A girls soccer season to the fall beginning in the 2012-2013 school year.

Only Southern Nevada Class 4A girls soccer is currently contested during the winter. The rest of the state’s schools currently compete during the fall.

The NIAA board originally voted to move the girls soccer season to the fall beginning with the 2008 season, but the parent of a Green Valley High student filed suit alleging that moving the season from the fall to winter would violate Title IX, which guarantees equal treatment between male and female students.
