BRIEF: California community college sports competitions to return

The California Community College Athletic Association in a statement affirmed their plans to have competition starting next school year.

With vaccination eligibility open for everyone ages 16 and older, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the state may be fully reopened by June 15. 

“We recognize that we will be managing the pandemic for the foreseeable future and we will continue to prioritize the health and safety of everyone involved with our sports. Safety will always come first,” the CCCAA said. “However, we will mitigate the challenges to the best of our abilities, just as we have done while navigating these unprecedented times. 

The association also said, “Our districts and colleges will continue to have the opportunity to do what’s in their best interests and we will support those decisions. The CCCAA is fully committed to a safe return to its full complement of sports and championships.”
