During the summer, the NJCAA announced that all fall sports, including volleyball and soccer are set to be moved to the spring semester due to COVID-19.
A statement from Dr. Christopher Parker, NJCAA President & CEO on July 13 from www.njcaa.org, “Our greatest focus is and always has been providing the best opportunities for our student-athletes. Through a unified effort from our Presidential Advisory Council, the Board of Regents, and leadership staff, our most recent plan of action provides a path that keeps our student-athletes competing at the highest level with proper safety measures in place. As we move forward as an association, we will continue to provide opportunities for our student-athletes, coaches, and all those involved with the NJCAA to be safe and successful.”
According to the NJCCA website here are the plans for the upcoming sport seasons:
“The most recent plan of action shifts all close-contact fall sports to the spring semester.
All winter sports competition will begin in January with a majority of championship seasons moved from March to April.
Spring sports competition remains intact with minor adjustments to dates.
Along with the adjustments to competition season and championship dates, the NJCAA has provided information as it relates to scrimmage and practice dates and allowances in the fall.
Championship dates are subject to change based on championship facility availability.”For more information on athletics please visit www.njcaa.org.
