NJCAA postpones most
fall sports until the spring
From Staff Reports
Fans of Navararo College basketball,
soccer, tennis and golf will have to wait
a little bit longer this year to see their
favorite teams in action.
The same goes for members of the
Southwest Junior College Football Conference,
which includes Navarro, Tyler,
Kilgore and Trinity Valley — no football
until January 2021.
Following the recommendations from
the NJCAA Presidential Advisory Council
and the NJCAA Board of Regents,
the NJCAA has announced its adjusted
plan of action for the upcoming 2020-21
academic year. Following the Board of
Regents’ vote, a majority of competition
will be moved to the spring semester.
“Our greatest focus is and always has
been providing the best opportunities for
our student-athletes,” said Dr. Christopher
Parker, NJCAA President & CEO
said. “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.”
The most recent plan of action shifts
all close-contact fall sports to the spring
semester. These sports include football,
men’s and women’s soccer, and court
volleyball. The NJCAA cross country
championships for all three divisions and
half marathon championships will remain
as their originally scheduled dates in the
fall as well as Division III women’s tennis.
All winter sports competition will
begin in January with a majority of championship
seasons moved from March to
April. These sports include men’s and
women’s basketball, wrestling, and swimming
and diving. Men’s and women’s
bowling and men’s and women’s indoor
track and field will be held at the beginning
of March.
Spring sports competition remains
intact with minor adjustments to dates.
These sports include baseball, softball,
beach volleyball, men’s and women’s golf,
men’s and women’s lacrosse, track and
field, and men’s and women’s tennis.
