JUCO fall sports pushed to spring

The governing body for junior college sports has moved close-contact fall sports to the spring amid the pandemic, adding to mounting concerns over the possibility of any college football being played before 2021.

The National Junior College Athletic Association also will move men’s and women’s soccer and court volleyball to the spring. Practices and scrimmages will be allowed this fall for those sports, as well as for men’s and women’s basketball, which will be able to start their seasons Jan. 22.
