Since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, society and consequently sports-world has had to adapt to this new reality. Specifically, school sports has undergone many changes which generated various settings. In the case of Gipuzkoa, the school sports coordinators (SSC) have had to managed these settings. The objective of this study was to know, describe and understand the management of school sports in Gipuzkoa from March 2020 to the end of 2020 divided into the three phases of the pandemic situation in the region. For this aim, a questionnaire was designed and answered by SSC. The results showed that various online proposals were made online during the lockdown. After it, activities in nature were proposed having great success. Likewise, there was showed a decreased in the number of proposals from 75,4% to 34,6%  and also on children´s participation in activities since the beginning of the pandemic (1,68/5). On the other hand, having to adapt to a new context, the initiatives proposed during the pandemic have broken with the traditional model of school sports moving towards a more educational and less competitive paradigm. All in all, it seems that the confinement has brought with it a reflection on the focus and mission of the sports offer for schoolchildren.
