New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy on Nov. 30 announced a temporary hiatus for all indoor athletics within the state in an attempt to slow the surging spread of COVID-19.

“Effective this Saturday, Dec. 5, at 6 a.m., all indoor youth and adult sports, including both practices and competition, and inclusive of all risk levels set forth by the Department of Health are being placed on a full and complete pause through Jan. 2, 2021,” Murphy said during his daily press briefing in Trenton.
