At Upper Merion Area Middle School, students are asking for the opportunity to play any fall sports.



The Upper Merion School Board will vote Monday to determine what will happen with the fall sports season. With a virtual learning plan already set in place for students through January 4, Sunday night parents and students want to make it clear: they want a choice when it comes to fall athletics.

"It's something that you look forward to your whole life, especially me as a senior, your senior season of high school sports. It would just be a shame, it's scary thinking it might not happen. We worked our whole lives, you snap your fingers and it could be gone," said senior, Stefano Nikolaou.
