CIF NCS UPDATE
At this time there is a proposed sport calendar that has been set and corresponds with the colored tiers as reported by the state each week.
On January 14th, the North Coast Section Executive Committee voted and approved the updated 2020-21 NCS SPORT BREAKDOWN & CALENDAR, based on COVID-19 color tiers. This proposal still needs final approval from the NCS Board of Managers who meet to vote on January 29th.
Our athletic department is involved in regular meetings at the league and section level as we continue to prepare and plan for what the 2020-21 sports calendar may look like. We will continue to update families on what that will mean for teams at O’Dowd.
