The National Club Football Association has officially decided to suspend all conference athletic events and championships through the spring 2021 semester in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. League administrators have already undertaken a full review of its ability to shift fall sports competition and championships to the spring semester, and have determined that a spring season is not feasible at this time. The NCFA fully intends to return to competition in the fall of 2021, assuming athletic competition can be safely executed.

“The entire league as a whole has worked hard these last few months to prepare for the return of club football beginning this spring,” explains NCFA President Sandy Sanderson. “Despite our planning and collective efforts, it has become clear that we are not able to do so. Unfortunately there are only 6 teams in the NCFA reporting they are allowed to compete this spring and only 1 conference (South Atlantic) having more than 1 team allowed to compete. Thus given these numbers it will be impossible for the NCFA to successfully host a spring 2021 football season.”

The NCFA will now shift our focus towards a reboot for the fall ’21 season. The league will provide updates this Thursday (1/28/21) with the next steps towards planning for fall ’21.
