FUMC BASKETBALL LEAGUE

It is that time of year to sign up for First United Methodist Church Basketball League; however, as everyone is aware, 2020 has been a very unusual and difficult type of year. We had hoped that we would be able to have the 28th year of FUMC basketball, but unfortunately due to the Coronavirus we have decided to cancel the season this year. The virus has presented us with difficult situations which would require wearing masks, social distancing, and other safety measures which the program is not able to staff. The health and safety of the players, coaches, family and friends are important to the church, and we feel it is in the best interest of all that the program be canceled this year. We look forward to resuming the program in the future. Thank you for your understanding and continued support, and if you have any questions, please call Ricky Sheets at 843-439-3117.
