In consideration of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Western Athletic Conference Board of Directors today postponed the start of the fall season competition to no earlier than September 10 for women's soccer and September 16 for men's soccer and women's volleyball.
"Two WAC committees, the Medical Advisory Group and the Contingency Planning Group, have been meeting on a weekly basis to ensure the safest manner for member institutions to conduct to fall competition," said WAC Commissioner Jeff Hurd. "Their recommendations, which include a strong testing policy as well as a requirement for each of our institutions to put together an Emergency Action Plan, were reviewed and approved by the Board."
The delay to the start of the season is designed to allow all teams to safely re-acclimate to training and competition following the cancellation of most organized spring and summer conditioning programs.
Tentative schedules for men's and women's cross country and golf are unaffected by today's announcement made by the league office.
The Board will continue to monitor changing COVID-19 conditions and will conduct additional reviews as they become necessary.
The WAC announcement does not impact CBU men's water polo, a member of the Western Water Polo Association (WWPA).
Further updates will be provided as and when appropriate.
