"As you are aware, our Nation is dealing with a national health-crisis with the current COVID-19 pandemic.  We have made the difficult decision to suspend all middle school and high school athletics practices and competitions as a precautionary measure effective immediately until further notice.  We understand that this will lead to some difficulties and hardships with all the time and energy devoted to the programs.  Our priority is the safety and the well-being of our students."

The Drug Free/Sportsmanship Contract Player/Parent Meeting scheduled for July 30 has been canceled. A new date will be announced closer to the start of the 2020-2021 athletic season.

From the California Interscholastic Federation 7/20/20:

The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) has determined, in collaboration with our 10 Sections, that education-based athletics for the 2020-2021 school year will begin with a modified season of sport schedule (see below for 2020-21 sports calendar). Our calendar reflects the season for each CIF sport and the last date for Section Championships and Regional/State Championships in those sports where a Regional/State Championship is currently offered. Following this announcement, each CIF Section Office will release their own calendar to reflect regular season starting and ending dates and Section playoffs. It is anticipated that most Section start dates will commence in December 2020 or January 2021.

We are continuously monitoring the directives and guidelines released from the Governor's Office, the California Department of Education, the California Department of Public Health, and local county health departments and agencies as these directives and guidelines are followed by our member schools/school districts with student health and safety at the forefront. As these guidelines change, CIF Sections may allow for athletic activity to potentially resume under the summer period rules of the local Section. Also, given this calendar change, the CIF has temporarily suspended Bylaws 600-605 (Outside Competition) in all sports for the 2020-21 school year.

New sport dates approved by the CIF, Central Coast Section and the Pacific Coast Athletic League:
