From Cerritos College Athletic Director Maria Castro:
We at Cerritos College Athletics are following the direction of the CCCAA and suspending indefinitely our sports programs for the remainder of the spring 2020 seasons. I feel deeply for these student-athletes who have worked so hard to be ready for this season of sport. Our athletic program will do everything possible to help the student-athletes in this time to maintain student success.
Below is a statement issued by the CCCAA ...
Due to concerns over COVID-19, the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) Board of Directors voted Thursday to immediately postpone practices outside of regularly scheduled classes, and competition for all spring sports, as well as any and all nontraditional sports seasons, indefinitely.
"It's important that we look out for the well-being of our student-athletes," said Keith Curry, Chair of the Board of Directors.
Jennifer Cardone, CCCAA Interim Executive Director, said the Board of Directors understands the effects this will have on student-athletes and said the CCCAA will be working to minimize those impacts to student-athlete eligibility for the CCCAA as well as the four-year college level.
"We regret the effect this has on our outstanding student-athletes and the hard work and dedication they've invested in their seasons," She said. "However, we feel it's in the best interest of our student-athletes to take this action."
