NECC Suspends Winter Conference Play - Dec 15, 2020 
Following numerous conversations by the conference's President's Council and its Athletic Leadership, The New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) has decided to suspend conference play during the winter season due to the ongoing health and safety concerns surrounding COVID-19."We really appreciate all the work and diligence that our commissioner and the NECC members have done to try to push things forward, said New England College Athletic Director Dave Decew. "However, we understand the decision that was made and respect the fact that it has the safety of all our constituents in mind. We will continue to look for outside competition opportunities at a more local and state-wide level." The well-being of all constituents is at the heart of every decision the NECC makes and, with that in mind, the conference has deemed it would not be prudent to participate in conference competition during the winter season. As was the case during the fall, this announcement does not preclude member institutions from competing locally or regionally at their discretion. Assuming the spread of the virus is contained and safety can be assured, conference play will resume during the spring semester. Practice and other athletic training opportunities for enrolled student-athletes will be permitted provided they are structured in accordance with each institution's procedures and in accordance with local and state regulations. The NECC's member institutions are continuing to work together to provide extended and non-traditional opportunities for their students. Courtesy of neccathletics.com |
