Mar 23, 2015

Although competition doesn’t begin until the fall with baseball and softball, Florida SouthWestern State College (FSW) fans can visit the new athletics website to get the latest news and developments. The website is www.fswbucs.com.

“This website will be the place for all Buccaneers fans to visit for schedules, coach and player profiles, and more,” said Carl McAloose, FSW Athletic Director. “Visitors can also learn more about our facilities, the City of Palms Stadium and the Suncoast Credit Union Arena. There is also a fan zone for everyone to follow us on social media.”

The Buccaneers will begin with fall 2015 exhibition competition in baseball and softball at the City of Palms Stadium in Fort Myers, the former spring training facility for the world champion Boston Red Sox. The Suncoast Credit Union Arena, set to begin construction this summer, will be the home for the Buccaneers men’s and women’s basketball teams, and the women’s volleyball team. The arena will also be a place for recreational and wellness activities for FSW students, as well as a place to host community events like graduations, concerts and tournaments. The arena is expected to open in the fall 2016.

Florida SouthWestern State College is Southwest Florida’s largest and one of the most affordable institutions of higher education. Annually serving more than 22,000 students globally, FSW offers a variety of nationally-ranked, career-focused academic programs with two- and four-year degrees, and professional certifications. Students are also active in clubs and programs catered to their interests. FSW will debut its intercollegiate athletics program in the fall 2015.
