There will be no fall season for Brock Badgers student-athletes to compete in this year.
Ontario University Athletics has announced the cancellation of its sport programming and championships up until Dec. 31, 2020 based on provincial public health guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fall sports cancelled include: baseball, cross country, golf, lacrosse, rowing, rugby, soccer, softball, tennis and ultimate frisbee. All other varsity and club sports are on hold for the remainder of 2020.
Student-athletes who compete in fall sports will not lose a year of eligibility due to the cancellation of the fall 2020 season.
“While this has been a challenging course of action for all involved, the health and safety of our student-athletes and all participants remain paramount,” said Gord Grace, OUA President and CEO. “Even though we will not have the opportunity to celebrate our student-athletes on the field during the first term, they remain at the heart of what our organization is about and we will continue to work toward achieving a safe return to play when the time is right to do so.”
Brock Sports is hosting two virtual town halls to answer questions from student-athletes on Monday, June 8 at 7 p.m. and Tuesday, June 9 at noon.
Access information has been sent to the Brock email account of all student-athletes.
