USCAA National Office COVID-19 Updates for Spring Semester
Following the USCAA’s initial response to COVID-19 which included the suspension of the Division I Basketball National Championships, we are following up with additional decisions by the National Office and Board of Directors.
- The USCAA has decided to cancel pending winter/spring post season National Championships and Invitational including Division I Basketball, Track & Field, Baseball, and Softball.
- The USCAA will return seasons of competition to all spring sport student-athletes in the sports of track & field, baseball, and softball. The National Office is working on the verbiage for this provision and will seek approval by the Board for the wording within the next 24-48 hours. This provision will most likely include a required cut-off date for member institutions to end competition dates.
- While the National Convention is still scheduled as planned, the USCAA will monitor the situation along with further CDC recommendations and make updates by April 3.
The safety of our student-athletes, coaches, and administrators is paramount as we navigate through this unprecedented event. We share the frustrations of those who have worked so hard to compete, but the broader hardship for those impacted is much greater. We encourage you to be a part of the solution to end this pandemic as quickly as possible. The USCAA will work to do the same. In doing so, our employees have been instructed to telecommute for the next two weeks. Members seeking guidance or customer service should contact the appropriate person using direct lines and/or email found here: National Office Staff Directory on the staff page of our website.
