Sports Return To HVCC After A Year Of Delays

By Nolan Cleary, Editor-in-Chief

Following a year of delays and postponements, student sports at Hudson Valley Community College have finally returned in person to campus. 

In-person sports were canceled last March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, sports have been halted out of necessity for the safety and well-being of students at HVCC. 

Initially, Sports were planned to return in December, but those plans were pushed back because of rising COVID-19 cases at the time. 

However, since vaccinations around the country on the rise, the Hudson Valley Community College Athletic Department has announced that sports can return on campus. 

Women’s and men’s sports are currently back in session. Meetings for both are being held virtually via Zoom and can be accessed every Monday. Interest meetings are also being held virtually for students interested in joining. 

The plan comes as Hudson Valley Community College aims to return in person at 92% capacity by the Fall of 2021.
