SANTA ANA, Calif. - The Santa Ana College Kinesiology & Athletics Department has announced its decision to opt-in to compete in the upcoming Spring 1 and Spring 2 athletic seasons in 2021.

 

The decision came ahead of the Friday, December 18 deadline set by the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA). The CCCAA has moved forward with the Contingency Plan that moved all 24 of the CCCAA's sports to Spring 2021 with traditional fall sports – as well as men's and women's basketball – participating in the first half and remaining sports competing in the second.

 

SAC Intercession 2021 classes begin on January 4 and practice for teams competing in the Spring 1 season begins on January 18. Spring 2 teams can begin practicing on March 27. 

 

"We are moving forward with our preparations for the Spring 1 and 2 seasons," said Athletics Director Mary Hegarty. "We will continue to monitor and adapt to conditions in the county and region and do everything we can to proceed in a safe, competitive manner for our student athletes, faculty and staff. We appreciate the leadership of President Flores and Vice President Lamb and thank them for their vote of support for SAC Athletics."
