Multi-Sport Student Athletes….Face Challenges during COVID-19 Sports Activity Suspensions

As uncertainty remains on the subject of the upcoming school year as well as youth and high school sports , some clarity hopefully will come in the next few weeks. With that said, some area school districts have returned to restricted summer workouts with strict protocols for social distancing and safety.  For athletes and coaches, it’s an exciting time to be able to return to the field or court. For the multi-sport athlete, when summer workouts involve all the different sports you  play, it becomes very challenging. The official fall sports season as of now begins on August 1.

Topsail High rising junior Jacob Holland a baseball and football player for the Pirates met the challenges . Holland has excelled in the classroom, baseball and football field as a student athlete.

Being a multi-sport athlete is nothing new for Jacob, in middle school he played baseball, football and basketball as well as travel baseball.

With the spring high school baseball season being cancelled as well as the summer baseball season, Holland is attending summer football workouts to prepare for his first varsity season. Jacob is hoping for a return to school and athletics this fall.

Congrats!! Jacob Holland… Topsail Youth Sports Daily..High School Spotlight Athlete
