SCHOOL FIRST
Our greatest accomplishment in our first four years is our work to prepare student-athletes for college with or without football. That effort culminated in a TEAM GPA of 3.71 in the 2019/20 season. We reach our target of 3.60 by prioritizing SCHOOL FIRST with study hall, grade checks, peer tutoring, study groups and real accountability. Learn more about our program here.
My Brother's Keeper Program
Big Brothers will return for the 2021-22 season. Learn more about it here.
Calendar
The best way to stay-up-to-date is our team calendar. It is also available above in the main menu. It lists practices, games, 7x7, our summer workout schedule, parent meetings, booster meetings, and the Dead Period.
Spring Workouts / Spring Football
Starts - Monday, May 3rd, Ends - Thursday, June 24th
This off-season will be much, much shorter than usual. With a two week break after our last game on Friday, April 16th, we will hit the weight room and start lifting on Monday, May 3rd in sixth period PE. We will lift through Thursday, June 24th, leading into the dead period.
There will be no traditional spring football this year. With the football season ending in the spring, the normal three week spring football session has been canceled. It will return in May of 2022 and will start in early May, ending before June 1st. We will have 15 practices in three weeks with the entire team, right after most spring sports are completed.
7x7 Games & Tournaments
We will return to our normal 7x7 spring/summer schedule after missing the 7x7 season last year due to Covid. Most game and tournaments are for varsity only. However, our JV team will compete on Saturday, June 26th in the Ramona Tournament. The tentative varsity schedule can be found on the team calender. Practices will be scheduled and shared.
Dead Period
Starts - Monday, June 28th thru Sunday, July 11th
The dead period is a mandated two week break from all football activity. No workouts, practices, 7x7 or contact between players and coaches. This is the ideal time to take a vacation.
