Sacramento, Calif. - The California Community Colleg Athletic Association (CCCAA) Board of Directors voted unanimously on Thursday that the remainder of the 2020 spring sports season will be canceled, the spring season of competition for approximately 9,500 student-athletes will be restored and in person recruiting is being prohibited immediately but will be re-evaluated next month.

The CCCAA, which oversees and governs athletics for 109 member institutions, postponed the spring seasons last week due to concerns over COVID-19 with hopes of possibly returning to competition.  However, with the campuses throughout the state closed and most classes taking place online, and with the uncertainty about when conditions will improve, the Board of Directors voted to cancel the spring sports season.

Additionally, nontraditional seasons and practices outside of regularly scheduled classes are canceled through June 30, 2020.

"College athletics are facing unprecedented circumstances and we are doing our best to address the concerns that have come about as a result," said Jennifer Cardone, CCCAA Interim Executive Director. "Undoubtedly, it's a challenging time but student-athletes are at the center of our focus as well as what's in the best interest of our institutions."
