    EXTRAORDINARY times call for extraordinary measures and the NCAA is ready to unfurl its special 96th season in June.

    The NCAA is set to hold the opening ceremonies for its 96th season on June 13 with the theme Rise Up Stronger.

    "We're happy to be the first collegiate league in the country to open its season during the pandemic," said NCAA Management Committee (Mancom) chairman Fr. Vic Calvo, OP of hosts Letran.

    It's a season like any other, with virtual events set to be contested in lieu of the traditional competitions as the country continues its fight against the global COVID-19 pandemic.

    Skills-based events in basketball and volleyball, as well as online chess, taekwondo, and poomsae are all in the league's calendar of events in this special season.
