The Shore Conference Executive Committee on Thursday morning released its revised schedules for fall sports, including a six-week regular season in football, amid the delayed start to the season.

Football will begin on Friday, Oct. 2, and play a six-week regular season that will conclude the week of Nov. 6. There will be no divisional structure for 2020 with teams instead being scheduled based on locality and school size with the competitive nature of the program being taken into consideration. Teams with a scheduled bye week will be permitted to find an opponent for that week. Teams can also drop a game if their opponent agrees. In that event, the team that agrees will likely not have a make-up game. Postseason games will be determined by NJSIAA guidelines which have not yet been released.

The NJSIAA said schools would be permitted to play Thanksgiving games but the eight teams that still play on Thanksgiving all have those games scheduled on Nov. 6 or, in the case of Manasquan vs. Wall, on Oct. 30.

The complete Shore Conference regular-season is at the bottom of this story.

All other sports - boys and girls soccer, field hockey, girls volleyball, girls tennis, gymnastics and cross country - will be in their usual divisional alignments, i.e, Class A North, Class A Central, etc. Teams will play the same opponent consecutively to minimize the risk of exposure and spread of COVID-19. The schedules for boys and girls soccer, field hockey and volleyball follow the NJSIAA's guidelines of a maximum of two games per week. For tennis, three matches are permitted per week. Cross Country will be done by division with no batch meets.

Here are the revised schedules for those sports.
