NJCAA Announces 2020 Spring Season Cancelled

CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. ­– Finger Lakes Community College Athletics will be cancelling the rest of the 2020 spring sports season effective immediately.

The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) issued their statement earlier today due to the recent recommendations from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Here is what they had to say:

In light of the progressive evolvement of the COVID-19 situation, the NJCAA has decided to end all competition for the remainder of the academic year

As an association, the NJCAA exhausted all possible avenues to potentially postpone competition for both upcoming basketball championships and spring sport competition. We believe following the recommendations of the CDC is in the best interest of our member colleges and our student-athletes.

Spring competition includes all practices, regular season, postseason, and national championship play.

Regarding eligibility for spring sports, no spring sport student-athlete who was enrolled at a member college in 2020 will be charged a year of participation.

Along with the cancellation of competition, all on and off-campus recruiting for all sports will be halted until April 15 with further evaluation to be assessed at that point of time.
