2021 Fall & Winter Conference Schedules Approved
The California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) recently announced they plan to support a full return to athletic competition in 2021-22.
In their release, they noted that California's "districts and colleges will continue to have the opportunity to do what is in their best interest and we will support those decisions. The CCCAA is fully committed to a safe return to its full compliment of sports and championships."
In early May, the Orange Empire Conference (OEC) held its Spring meeting and confirmed schedules for the upcoming 2021 Fall and Winter seasons. These sports included men's and women's cross country, men's and women's water polo, women's indoor volleyball and men's and women's basketball.
Additionally, the Southern California Football Association (SCFA), which includes Riverside's 2019 defending National champion football program, approved its 2021 schedule.
Below you will find the approved conference and home openers for each Fall and Winter sport. These dates are currently tentative, as all RCC Athletics activities will be confirmed following College and District guidance and will adhere to the Safe Return to Campus plan.
