NJSIAA, Please Move Group 2 Soccer Playoffs to Spring 2021

The Issue

The spread of Covid-19 has forced many local schools and school districts to be shut down, including the shutting down of many South Jersey Group 2 teams during playoff season. We want the NJSIAA to move the South Group 2 playoffs to a week in Spring 2021. Our student athletes worked hard all season and they deserve a chance to finish the post season. 

Covid-19 has already had enormous detrimental effects on our NJ students. While our schools close to keep us safe, it is important that we do everything we can to support our student athletes whose Fall post-seasons are being ruined by cancelations. The NJSIAA Group 2 South playoffs could be easily condensed into one week this Spring. 

The high school teams included in NJSIAA Group 2 South are:

Cinnaminson             Delran                  Pleasantville         

 Bordentown             Sterling                Delsea         

  Haddon Heights           Cedar Creek        Haddonfield

Haddon Heights         West Deptford            Collingswood     

Lower Cape May          Oakcrest                Middle Township
