The Sporting
FALL 2020 SUMMARIES The fall sports season was originally scheduled to begin on August 27 with full team practices and games scheduled to be played beginning on September 10. Due to COVID-19, the start date was moved to August 29 and the first three weeks of practice were limited in structure and length. Those practices were conducted in small cohorts of no more than 10 and were limited to thirty minutes of skill development and thirty minutes of conditioning. Full team practices began on September 21 and games began on October 1. The number of regular season contests in each sport was reduced by approximately 25% and the schedules were adjusted to play only within regional divisions. All teams stayed within those regions/divisions throughout the season. At the end of the regular season the Southern Connecticut Conference (SCC) held divisional playoffs. There were no conference or state tournaments. The fall season ended on Friday, October 13.
