Gov. Murphy signs executive order allowing indoor sports practices and competitions

Gov. Phil Murphy signed Executive Order No. 187 on Monday, allowing the resumption of practices and competitions in indoor settings.

The order lifted restrictions on sports of “medium risk” and “high risk,” including football, swimming relays, soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball, softball and short track, among others, in youth, high school, college and adult-league settings.

However, Murphy’s order will not supersede any rules put forth by the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association or the NCAA. Sports overseen by the NJSIAA or the NCAA must comply with the rules and regulations put in place by their associations as well as Murphy’s Executive Orders.
