High school athletes in four sports went back to practice Monday for the start of the fall sports seasons. While football and volleyball were missing in action, the return of soccer and tennis players, cross-country runners and swimmers signaled a reopening of Minnesota high school sports for the first time since they were shut down on March 13.

Here's a look at what the return of sports looked like around Minnesota on Monday morning.
