COVID-19 pandemic poses new challenges for soccer’s return to training
The sports world changed drastically after the initial spread of COVID-19 in March. Since then, professional sports leagues have shifted to playing in empty stadiums and college athletics programs have postponed all fall sports—including the Big East.
However, student-athletes returned to Seton Hall in early August to continue training with their teams prior to the conference-wide postponement of fall sports. For the men’s and women’s soccer teams, they were just a few days away from starting preseason before the Big East voted against holding fall sports competitions this year.
