On July 29, Saint Xavier University announced the postponement of all fall sports. “In alignment with the NAIA’s decision, SXU Athletics will postpone competition in all fall sports. Football, Men’s and Women’s Cross Country, Men’s and Women’s Soccer, Women’s Volleyball, Cheer and Dance will compete in Spring 2021.” said SXU Athletics Director Allison Kern in a Press Release.
This announcement follows one from SXU’s governing sports body, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), who also announced their fall sport schedule would be postponed until spring 2021. This means that in spring 2021, all the normal spring sports will be played alongside fall sports.
Practice, however, is not impacted. All teams who were scheduled to participate in fall sports will continue to practice throughout this extended offseason. With the fall sports season postponed, the spotlight now turns to Saint Xavier’s winter sports. The NAIA has made no announcements regarding winter sports. The start date for winter sports is tentatively scheduled for late October/early November.
