CHICO, Calif. – The California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Board of Presidents announced today that the conference intends to proceed with a traditional conference schedule beginning in the fall of 2021.
“Given the current conditions, it is appropriate for us to return to athletic competition,” said Dr. William Covino, President of Cal State LA and the chair of the CCAA Board of Presidents. “Of course, we will be monitoring the situation as it unfolds over the coming weeks and months and make any adjustments as necessary.”
The CCAA plans to align with CSU system guidance, procedures and best practices in regards to all vaccination policies, keeping the health and safety of our campus communities across the conference as our top priority.
“Needless to say, we are extremely grateful to the Board of Presidents for allowing us to move forward with a traditional schedule for the 2021-22 season,” said CCAA Commissioner, Mitch Cox.
“Our student-athletes, coaches and staff have been incredibly resilient this past year, and I know that they will be excited to have the opportunity to get back out on the field of play and compete.”
Additional information about conference schedules will be publicly available at a later date, with further updates on spectator status determined by each campus as local conditions warrant.
“CSUSM student-athletes will be ready to go for fall 2021 competition,” said Cal State San Marcos Director of Athletics, Jennifer Milo. “Our student-athletes have shown such resilience in the face of tremendous adversity over the last year. I am proud of them and how they have handled this difficult time. We are all eagerly awaiting the return of CSUSM Athletics next fall!”
