Yesterday afternoon the Athletic Directors of all member schools made a motion impacting overtime in JV Soccer.  The motion to waive overtime for all Boys & Girls Junior Varsity Soccer matches was passed.  Therefore, for the remainder of the 2020 Fall Soccer season there will be no OT for JV boys & girls soccer.  This rule change does not apply to Varsity Boys or Girls Soccer season.  Please forward this information on to your membership as we have asked Athletic Directors to do the same with their coaches.
