The Pac-12 announced Tuesday that fall sports have been postponed until at least Jan. 2021. Here’s how that decision affects the Arizona Wildcats soccer team.
More time for the freshmen to adjust
The Wildcats have 13 freshmen, the largest class in the Tony Amato era. Normally, newbies only get a month of summer workouts and two weeks of practice before their first games, leaving many unprepared to contribute at a high level by the time the season opener rolls around.
Now? If the season starts in January, the freshmen will have five months and an entire semester to get acclimated before their debuts.
