Statement by Taft College Athletic Director Kanoe Bandy:
"Taft College has opted-in for spring 1 of the CCCAA Contingency Plan in three sports: Women's Golf, Women's Volleyball and Women's Basketball. The department has worked hard to put together our 'Return to Athletics' plan, which includes screening and testing protocols along with disinfection plans. We wanted to be ready when the time came for us to safely compete. Although the competition schedule will be severely modified, it is critical that we get our student-athletes engaged. Like everyone else, our student-athletes have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. If we can get our students-athletes engaged, they may choose not to give up academically and continue moving towards their academic goals and ultimately, completion of a degree."
