    NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) — Beginning today, Metro Nashville Public Schools have given the green light to football and girls soccer coaches to begin contact practice.

On Friday morning, a school official told News4 that they will continue to monitor COVID-19 metrics and that will determine when games will start.

“In alignment with our phase-in approach for in-person learning, we will begin to phase in extracurricular activities as long as conditions allow,” Sean Braisted, with MNPS, said.

Although full contact drills and practice is allowed, all extracurricular social distancing guidelines and precautions must be followed.

The TSSAA requires 10 days of contact practice before playing in a game.
