Cal High Athletics

It has been the long-standing tradition and philosophy of the California High School Athletic Department that participation in athletics is an integral part of the educational process. The many lessons that athletics can teach include: sportsmanship, self-discipline, teamwork, commitment, and developing self-confidence, as well as dealing with success and overcoming adversity. These are lessons that will last a lifetime. The true value of High School athletics rests in the learning of these lessons and working to develop future leaders.

FUNDING ATHLETICS

Funding
High School athletics in the San Ramon Valley Unified School district are "self-funded."  We cannot run the programs without your support.  High Schools do not receive district (tax dollar) funds for equipment, uniforms, transportation, and most coaching stipends.  As such, voluntary donations are solicited to fund these valuable programs. Without your generous donations sports at California High School cannot be offered. High school sports cost much less than outside club sports.  Please keep them afloat and ongoing with your donation. 
 
Voluntary Donations (defined)
Voluntary donations are needed to help alleviate our coaching staff from necessary administrative duties that the Athletic Department performs, and allows coaches to focus on our student-athletes. These donations cover major operating costs of our athletic budget which includes:  officials, equipment, possible athletic trainers, supervision/security, facility, first aid supplies, CIF, NCS & League fees and various general expenses to operate our athletic department budget.. The suggested donation will be detailed in a specific sport budget presented to parents at an  orientation meeting after teams have been finalized.
 

ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY

It is a privilege, not a right, to participate in any extra-curricular activity. To be eligible to tryout for any sport, SRVUSD mandates that all athletes have an unweighted 2.0 GPA or higher based on their last quarter's grades. A 2.0 GPA or higher must be maintained throughout the season or the athlete will become ineligible to participate.  
             
Go GRIZZLIES!
 

IMPORTANT: SRVUSD VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS

SRVUSD is implementing a new system for all adults who wish to volunteer on a school campus or drive/chaperone day and overnight field trips and athletic events. This new Volunteer Management System features a web-based software application that allows the District and all schools to better track and provide the appropriate level of clearance for school volunteers.
 
ALL adult volunteers will need to go through this new process. The District will NOT be asking parents to incur any of the costs associated with these clearance processes.
