BOSTON, Mass. – The Commonwealth Coast Conference Board of Directors approved its plan to return to conference competition for the spring 2021 season. The plan affirms the Board's previously stated intention to begin CCC play for spring sports beginning on March 27.

Protocols have been adopted with the health and safety of our campus communities remaining the priority. Conference members will be required to test all student-athletes and team personnel twice per week, with a negative PCR test result required at least 72 hours before competition.

In addition to this rigorous COVID-19 testing protocol which exceeds NCAA recommendations, the CCC will require universal masking for all competitors, team personnel, and officials. Additionally, no spectators will be admitted to the sites of competition.

This decision affects baseball, softball, men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's tennis, men's golf, and men's and women's track & field. Conference schedules and tournament formats are in the process of being finalized by the CCC athletic directors and the conference office and will be released shortly.

CCC institutions retain autonomy to conduct non-conference competition. Wentworth will permit each team sport to conduct one game against a non-conference opponent prior to the conference schedule starting on March 27.
