After approval from Washington state officials, the WIAA released its return-to-play guidance on Monday, giving high schools across the state a roadmap for how to resume athletics amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The return will likely be staggered. Some sports — such as football, which was designated "high risk" — will return depending on the risk of transmission associated with each individual sport.

On Wednesday's episode of the SBLive Washington podcast, statewide reporters Andy Buhler and Todd Milles, as well as analyst Dan Dickau, dissect the important points in the 13-page guidance, and give the latest update on what comes next.
