Basketball and swimming competition will not begin until after Dec. 31, 2020
MELBOURNE, Fla. – The Sunshine State Conference Athletic Directors and Presidents Council have unanimously agreed to postpone all competition in the sports of basketball and swimming through December 31, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Conference will determine and communicate conference schedules and conference championship information in these sports at a later date.
With the postponement, the Nova Southeastern Sharks men’s and women’s basketball, and men’s and women’s swimming teams will announce their schedules for the upcoming season once available. Fall sports (cross country, soccer, volleyball) that were previously postponed will still be scheduled for competition during the Winter semester as well.
From Nova Southeastern Director of Athletics Michael Mominey
“Unfortunately, this very difficult decision needed to be made at this time. However, the optimistic way to look at this news is that this decision does give us the opportunity to properly and safely plan for the return of competition in all our sports in early 2021. I do think it says a lot about the strength of the Sunshine State Conference in which our presidents and our athletic directors are fully aligned on this decision. Of course, we are all mindful that this further affects our student-athletes and staff, but I remain hopeful and optimistic that we are on the best path possible given the circumstances.”
