Pima Community College (PCC) has postponed the soccer, basketball and volleyball seasons until spring 2021 in order to comply with national guidelines to protect the health and safety of students, employees and the community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision came after the National Junior College Athletic Association’s Presidential Advisory Council and Board of Regents included the decision to postpone the seasons of fall and winter “close-contact” sports in its Plan of Action for the 2020-21 academic year, according to a new release by PCC.
“Moving these sports to Spring is a common-sense approach to the pandemic,” Chancellor Lee D. Lambert said. “It protects the health and safety of our student-athletes while giving them the best opportunity to compete and succeed on and off the field.”
Decisions regarding whether men’s and women’s cross country seasons will continue as originally scheduled are still currently under review.
