Update From Boo Corrigan on Voluntary Workouts and Student-Athlete Return to Campus

Dear Wolfpack Nation,

Since our world in college athletics came to pause in March, we have adapted, evolved and continued to work with our campus, league and health officials on what our ultimate path forward will be. It's been a collective effort from our student-athletes, coaches and staffs who have shown the best in the human spirit and what it means to represent NC State University.

With that in mind, we have begun the process of bringing student-athletes back to our campus in four phases, the first of which is already underway. First and foremost, the overall safety and health of our student-athletes will always be our first consideration.

In accordance with NCAA guidelines on voluntary workouts, we have begun to allow members of our football, men's and women's basketball programs who live locally to receive physical examinations from our sports medicine staff, as well as COVID-19 testing. If cleared, they will be given the opportunity to participate in voluntary workouts under specific guidelines. We will make training spaces available at the Murphy Center, our football practice fields inclusive of the Close-King Indoor Facility, Reynolds Coliseum and the Dail Basketball Complex. Each sport will have student-athletes broken into pods consisting of small groups to ensure physical distancing and safety.

Step two of our process will begin no later than June 20 with the permissible return to student housing for our returning and incoming football players, with men's and women's basketball to follow shortly after. Once cleared by our medical staff, we will continue to follow all applicable strict guidelines and safety measures and allow voluntary workouts.

The third phase of our return will occur later this summer when remaining Fall sports will return to campus with additional details to come. The final phase will be the return of all remaining programs in conjunction with the start of the Fall semester.

We will continue to work with our campus and all applicable parties on the safest and most responsible path moving forward. We look forward to seeing our student-athletes return in the weeks to come.

Be well and Go Pack,

Boo Corrigan signature
