Abstract
COVID-19 occurred in 2019 in China, and in 2020, a pandemic was declared by World Health Organization. A global disaster affecting the education system. The study aimed to determine problems encountered, solutions undertaken, and skill competencies of the student-athletes of Castillejos National High School (CNHS) under the new normal. The researcher utilized a quantitative descriptive research design with a questionnaire as the main instrument in gathering data from fifty student-athletes who were randomly selected. On average, student-athletes attained an Intermediate (2.15) level of sports skills. This indicates that the student-athletes, as measured by the rubrics, had not reached the highest level in terms of acquiring sports skills during the time of the pandemic. This may be a result of the limited time of interactions among the students together with the sports coordinators or teachers due to the restriction of the safety health protocols and the restriction of face-to-face meetings. Thus, Teachers and parents or guardians may focus on guiding the student-athletes to solve their problems to further motivate them in enhancing their sports skills.
