“This was arrived at after consultation with Policy Board members,” said Cayco in a statement.
Cayco said that board president Francisco Cayco of Arellano University got the backing of the nine other schools to out an end to the season, which was on its second semester sports.
Volleyball games were supposed to resume last March 16 after its initial cancelation on February 13.
The other scrapped events are high school volleyball girls, men’s football, lawn tennis and soft tennis, track and field, 15-under basketball and beach volleyball.
The league’s Cheer Leading Competition is also part of the league’s calendar supposed to be held on March 30.
Cayco said that the most important thing for the NCAA is the welfare of all the people involved during the games.
“First and foremost that was considered was the safety of the athletes, students, fans, and officials,” said Cayco. “Eligibility matters of athletes being raised shall be discussed later.”
