San Diego City College students have a reason to cheer again this fall semester with sports returning to campus.

Student-athletes are finally able to showcase their skills to an audience after an extended shutdown.

“After almost two years since the pandemic hit City College, we have sports on campus with our first home game,” said Gustavo Celarie, the Knights sports information director.

Women’s volleyball and other indoor sports will have home games that will be viewable on YouTube live stream and outdoor sports such as cross-country and soccer will allow for in-person attendance.
