NCAA Updates COVID-19 Guidance for Fall Sports

Andy Berg Headshot

The NCAA on Wednesday released new guidance for fall training and competition amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2021 Fall Training and Competition document includes testing, quarantine, isolation, and other athletic and nonathletic activity considerations for unvaccinated and fully vaccinated Tier 1 individuals. As previously defined, Tier 1 individuals are those with the highest exposure (for example, student-athletes, coaches, athletic trainers, physical therapists, medical staff, equipment staff and officials).

"Current vaccination rates remain inadequate to provide community-level immunity," NCAA chief medical officer Brian Hainline said. "It is essential that member schools work in concert with federal, state and local public health officials to develop COVID-19 prevention and management strategies that make sense for them."
