Answered

I am a member of my school's varsity badminton team. However, due to the pandemic, I haven't had a chance to play this year. How will this impact my application?

I'm going through the same thing with my badminton team right now! Just explain the issue in the essay prompt that asks about how the pandemic affected you and it should be fine! It's not going to be a blemish because it isn't your fault that the season was cancelled.
