Some well-resourced schools provided players workout equipment during lockdown. Less fortunate schools didn’t lift weights from February 2020 until February 2021.
At De La Salle, things were different. Coach Justin Alumbaugh said even when they weren’t in person, his school provided students with at-home workout equipment, like resistance bands. They also were tracking workouts to try and encourage his players to stay in shape.
While state and county guidelines dictated how everyone had to operate, public schools throughout the region also had their school districts setting policies, too. And those were, at times, even stricter than their county’s or state’s. Benicia coach Craig Holden added, “Our district did not allow in-person meetings while we were on COVID break and other districts in our league were allowed. [It] made things extremely rushed when the spring season was cleared to play.”analysis
Just after that analysis came out, Gov. Gavin Newsom lifted the ban on football and other outdoor sports, creating a window to get on the football field. For schools that had been holding workouts, transitioning over to practices was rather easy. San Mateo coach Jeff Scheller added, “We couldn’t get in the weight room. Schools that had their teams in the weight room or demographics that had access to the weight room excelled. Our team was injured in the first half of the first game and we never recovered.”
Branham coach Stephen Johnson added, “Students were essentially forced into playing one sport which resulted in participation numbers taking a plunge – [I] finished my spring season with a JV team of 17 players. I felt that our summer workout numbers recovered a bit, but we lost a lot of momentum versus the momentum we had after going 11-2 [and making a] CCS Finals appearance in 2019.”
