Important Athletic Notice

On December 1, 2020, the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) State and CIF- Sac-Joaquin Section (SJS) announced new and updated changes that will be made to the 2020-21 sport calendar due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The new sport calendar came out on December 18, 2020, along with an updated memo.

Please note that start dates will depend on State and County guidelines.  All sports are still divided into two seasons of play (Season #1 and Season #2) instead of the standard three seasons of play (fall, winter, and spring). The breakdown is as follows: 

Season #1 includes the following sports: cross country (men and women), volleyball (women), water polo (men and women), D7 Soccer (men and women), and football.  Season #1 will have the following start dates for official tryouts: 

TBA – Football, Cross County

TBA – Women’s Volleyball, Water Polo, Soccer (LGA) 

Season #2 includes the following sports: baseball, basketball (men and women), golf (men and women), volleyball (men), soccer (men and women), softball, swimming/diving (men and women), tennis (men and women, coed), track and field (men and women), wrestling (men and women).  Season #2 will have the following start dates for official tryouts: 

TBA – Golf, Tennis

TBA – Basketball, Soccer, Wrestling, Coed Tennis (NHS)

TBA – Men’s Volleyball (moved from season #1), Swimming/Diving, Baseball, Softball

TBA– Track and Field

It is understood that this set-up is not ideal for multi-sport athletes. We will work closely between our multi-sporters to alleviate as much stress as possible. Facility issues were also considered by the CIF in order to avoid the cancellation of specific levels of sport or programs. This is only a one year adjustment due to the pandemic and we will return to a normal, three season sports season (fall, winter, spring) the following year.

Athletic Directors/Coaching Staff will adjust their game schedules, practice schedules, and training regimens to best prepare the student-athletes for this adaptation of the schedule. For Conditioning that is ongoing, please refer to our ‘Phased Return to Athletics’ plan for each site.

See below for Inderkum High School’s Season #1 game schedules – these will be adjusted once updates are made by the CIF: 

Football Schedule 20-21
Water Polo Schedule 20-21
Cross Country Schedule 20-21
Men’s Volleyball Schedule 20-21 (might be moved to Season #2)
Women’s Volleyball Schedule 20-21

Looking forward to seeing our student-athletes in action!
