Spring Sports season cancelled due to COVID-19

 Miami Dade College's spring sports have been cancelled for the remainder of the season.

The NJCAA made the decision on Monday March 16 following the recent recommendations from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

"In light of the progressive evolvement of the COVID-19 situation, the NJCAA has decided to end all competition for the remainder of the academic year," stated Dr. Christopher Parker, NJCAA President & CEO. "As an association, the NJCAA exhausted all possible avenues to potentially postpone competition for both upcoming basketball championships and spring sport competition. We believe following the recommendations of the CDC is in the best interest of our member colleges and our student-athletes."

Spring competition includes all practices, regular season, postseason and national championship play including the men's and women's basketball national championship tournaments.

The softball team ends the season at 10-19 overall and 3-4 in conference play. Third place in the Southern Conference.

The baseball team ends the season at 17-6 overall and 3-4 in conference play. Fourth place in the Southern Conference.

 

Regarding eligibility for spring sports, no spring sport student-athlete who was enrolled at a member college in 2020 will be charged a year of participation.

Along with the cancellation of competition, all on and off-campus recruiting for all sports will be halted until April 15 with further evaluation to be assessed at that point in time.
