FAQs – Why are we changing registration platforms?

FAQs – Will we still use League Athletics or Stack Sports?
League Athletics will remain in effect for Summer 2020 programs and potentially some Fall 2020 programs and scheduling, however, much of that will be dictated by the CJSA’s decisions on league schedules.
