Rocklin High School

The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and the Sac-Joaquin Section (SJS) announced the alterations that will be made to the 2020-21 sport calendar due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This new sport calendar was developed by the Section Commissioners and the State CIF Office after several months of research as well as input from Coaches, Athletic Directors, and School Administrators. 

 

In short, all sports were 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 (men and women), water polo (men and women), and football. Season #1 will have the following start dates for official tryouts:

 

                12/07/2020 - Football, Cross Country, Cheer & Dance

                12/14/2020 - Volleyball & Water Polo

 

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

 

                 02/01/2021 - Tennis & Golf
                 02/22/2021 - Basketball, Soccer, Stunt & Wrestling

                 03/08/2021 - Baseball, Softball & Swim

                 03/15/2021- Track and Field & Lacrosse

 

While we understand that this set-up is not ideal for multi-sport athletes, it allows us to carry out full seasons of sport with minimal crossover between the two seasons of sport. We will work closely between our multi-sports to alleviate as much stress as possible.  Furthermore, facility issues were considered account by the CIF in order to avoid the cancellation of specific levels of sport or programs. This is obviously (and hopefully) 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.

 

In the coming weeks, the Rocklin  Athletics Coaching Staff will adjust their game schedules, practice schedules, and training regimens to best prepare the student-athletes for this adaptation of the schedule.
