With organized sports games being shut down since the beginning of COVID-19, athletes such as Justin Pichedwatana struggle to cope with the reality that they don’t get to play the sport they love despite putting in the hard work to stay in form.

“My mindset has definitely changed, because this was supposed to be my last year as a redshirt senior,” said Pichedwatana, an SF State wrestler with an athletic scholarship. “It was supposed to be my last year of wrestling, and it got stripped away from me.”

When the California Collegiate Athletic Association announced its decision on Dec. 3, 2020, to end organized play in the spring semester due to concerns regarding COVID-19, senior student-athletes wondered if they would ever play collegiate sports again.

The CCAA, the 12-team conference in which SF State athletics reside, has not held any organized games since March 8, 2020. Student-athletes who have been missing the competition of games will have to wait until after the spring semester for another chance to play, as organized sports have been canceled for all of the 2020-21 academic year. It is not confirmed if play will start in the fall semester.
