COVID-19 RESOURCES & RETURN TO SPORTS
IMPORTANT: Return to Play for COVID-19 Positive Individuals
Due to the increased risk of myocarditis, any student-athlete who tests positive for COVID-19 must be cleared by either a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) or a Doctor of Medicine (MD). Final clearance must come from the school’s district physician for those schools that have one. Clearance must be sent in writing to the school nurse.

DATES TO KNOW
Please see below for the NJSIAA dates for late-winter and spring sports. CBA will adhere to all start dates below, with the exception of non-NJSIAA spring sports (crew, rugby, sailing).
The NJSIAA Sports Advisory Task Force has also identified the following eight guiding principles that will drive the decision-making process.
- Ensure the health and safety of all student-athletes.
- Re-engage all student-athletes as soon as possible for their social, emotional and mental well-being.
- Maximize participation across all sports and all student-athletes.
- Keep competition as local as possible for as long as possible.
- Develop multiple return to play models to minimize the risk of a cancelled season.
- Maintain the ability to pivot to back-up plans when deemed necessary.
- Minimize potential impact on the spring season.
- Minimize the importance of postseason, statewide championships.
