Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown education in turmoil, globally, resulting in many challenges for quality education and associated activities, such as sports, to continue. This study's foci are on what detrimental effects of discontinued athletics have on the learner athletes; how information communication technology (ICT) utilisation can mitigate these effects and enable continued athletics participation and coaching. A qualitative research approach was employed. Purposive, convenient sampling method was used to select the participants. Data was collected by means of a face-to-face interview; examining artefacts; two focus group interviews and semi-structured questionnaires. The data was arranged manually according to categories and themes. The findings and recommendations were aligned to the third stage of the Crisis Recovery Stages of Wa-Mbaleka and Costa' model and the research questions were answered. The coach's use of ICTs for training proved to be an effective way for athletes to continue school athletics during the COVID-19 pandemic, with implications for education and society.
