The American Rivers Conference announced scheduling concepts for its fall sports that are moving to the spring semester as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The four sports affected by the fall postponement are football, women’s and men’s soccer, and volleyball.
In football, the provisional plan provides for each school to play three conference games with the option to play up to five games if the school so chooses. Additional games can be against either conference or non-conference schools. There will be no conference champion in football.
The women’s and men’s soccer schedules anticipate eight conference games, a full single round-robin, with the option to play more conference or non-conference games if they desire. A conference champion shall be determined by the eight-game schedule and there will not be a conference tournament.
The volleyball schedule has the same concept as soccer with a proposed eight conference games and the option to play more conference or non-conference games at the school’s discretion. The conference championship will go to the single round-robin winner and, like soccer, there will not be a conference tournament.
Dates and match-ups for the varsity contests for these four sports will be announced after academic calendars for spring are finalized by the nine institutions.
