RE: Return-to-Play Update – Virtual Contact Period
The NJSIAA Sports Advisory Task Force is pleased to provide the following virtual contact periods for each sport listed below. This task force recognizes the importance of socially and emotionally engaging student-athletes with their coaches and teammates, while also helping them to prepare physically and mentally for their upcoming season. However, it is important for all coaches to remember that participation in any sport that is in season must take priority over virtual workouts or virtual meetings for any out of season sport.
Below is a summary of virtual contact, practice start and season end dates for each sport:
