Courses Worth Exploring: Lessons From the 2020 Season
The title of this page points back to 2020, a year when high school sports in Portland and across Oregon were disrupted on a scale few families had seen before. Seasons were postponed, reshaped or cancelled, and many student-athletes spent months training alone. Looking back, that year taught a set of "courses" that are still worth taking, whether you play, coach or cheer from the stands.
Training without a team
With practices suspended, athletes learned to build their own routines: running loops through the neighbourhood, bodyweight circuits in the garage, and video sessions with coaches. The habit of self-directed work is valuable in any season. A simple weekly plan that mixes conditioning, skill drills and rest days keeps players ready when official practice resumes.
Looking after the whole athlete
Isolation made it clear that mental health matters as much as fitness. Checking in with teammates, keeping regular sleep, and talking openly with a trusted adult, counsellor or medical professional are all part of being a strong competitor. This links directly to the respect and inclusivity described in our manifesto.
Flexibility on game day
Schedules changed often, and families learned to check for updates before every event. That remains good practice: confirm times and locations on the schedule page, allow extra travel time, and follow any venue guidance.
Community support
When fans could not attend, families, alumni and local supporters found other ways to help, from sharing livestreams to backing equipment needs. Groups like our boosters show how that energy can continue, so every team has what it needs to compete.
The 2020 season is over, but its lessons in resilience, adaptability and care for one another are courses every athlete can keep enjoying.
