Arizona JUCOs Moving Forward With Spring

Sources in Arizona have confirmed to RTS that the Maricopa County Community College District will move forward with sports starting January 4, 2021. The district which includes eight ACCAC softball playing members on the NJCAA DII level, had canceled sports this fall and had no student-athletes on their campuses this semester. It was thought at the time the move was going to be for all sports for the totality of the 2020-2021 athletic year. This fall the district had established a committee of college and athletic administrators along with institution athletic trainers and other medical experts to gauge the viability of moving forward with the spring. A vote this morning by institute presidents and the chancellor of the Maricopa County Community College system reversed course clearing the way for sports to return this spring.
