Athletics Readiness
NMJC takes great pride in Thunderbird Athletics and supports the college’s resumption
of athletics in the 2020–2021 academic year. Timing and format depend on ongoing evaluation
of conditions and direction from the National Junior Collegiate Athletic Association
(NJCAA) and the Western Junior College Athletic Conference (WJCAC).
Strength and conditioning training will resume in phases, as allowed by national and regional athletics governing bodies, and with protective equipment in use when social distancing is not possible.
Here is the latest information regarding athletics:
- NJCAA has moved all contact conference games to spring – this includes NMJC’s basketball, volleyball, baseball, golf, and track and field.
- NMJC’s Cross Country teams and Rodeo teams will compete in Fall under guidelines by the state of New Mexico.
- Practice will occur on campus within the group gathering protocol established by the state of New Mexico.
- The opportunity of scrimmage games will be reviewed pending the status of the pandemic during the Fall semester.

Student athletes may move into NMJC housing on Monday August 10. Plesae contact your coach for further instructions.
