thought of the players getting out on the field
will boost morale and help the mental state
of the players. He’s seen the positive effect
when players were at weightlifting during pod
training in January. That positive attitude has
been extended during their recent pod workouts
on the field. He explained those workouts are
mostly conditioning players in groups of 14
supervised by the coaching staff.
Football has been allowed to start practicing
as a team starting this past Monday. Coach
Green believes this will give the players an
understanding that their season will come to
fruition. “The players have all accepted what
we’re going through and the challenges we all
face,” Green said.
Many teams had been holding practices
within the guidelines of the county prior to the
announcement. It meant the athletes were practicing
strict protocol, including social distancing,
no personal contact, and making sure players
were in small groups. The football team has
been doing conditioning, the baseball and
softball teams have had workouts to build up
their arms. But basketball and volleyball teams
have had a challenge working out since indoor
sports are currently not allowed to return as an
indoor sport. Eagle head coach David March
says he’s conducting tryouts next week in
anticipation of a modified season starting. He’s
hopeful that by mid-April, teams will be able to
move inside for practice and games to be played.
Another dilemma in the future is where
different sports will be able to practice and
then staging games. The football, soccer, and
Ami Jacobson (far right) finished third behind Torrance’s Amber Anderson and Seqouia Gonzales
lacrosse teams will all share the two fields at
the school and could also utilize Campus El
Segundo’s two fields. Those logistics are being
worked out between the programs.
Another unknown is spectator involvement
and who might be able to attend as fans, if
any at all. According to Shevlin, the county
has not given any guidelines for fan support, so
“When you put yourself on the line in a race and expose yourself
to the unknown, you learn things about yourself that are very exciting.”
