December 2, 2020
To our Saint Mary’s Athletic families,
We know how challenging these past months have been as we have awaited guidance on high school athletics. The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) released the following statement regarding the athletic seasons for this school year.
As you can see from the press release, we are also awaiting guidance from the State of California Department of Public Health on youth sports. With the information we received yesterday, the start of "Season 1 Sports" on December 14 is on hold until at least January 1, 2021.
We will continue to offer conditioning like we have this fall and guidance will continue to come from our head varsity coaches.
As soon as we receive any new information, we will be sure to let you know. I remain grateful for the leadership of all of our coaches during this time, and appreciate your support and partnership.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Decision Re: Athletes and Hybrid Learning
October 12, 2020
The decision has been made that if you choose to remain remote learning for health or safety reasons, you may still participate in extracurricular activities, such as sports and our play production.
What determines if we will hold conditioning?
Our coaches will reference the EPA's website, airnow.gov to determine if we should hold conditioning on a daily basis. Should the air quality index reach 150 or above, athletic conditioning will not be held on that day. Each coach will be responsible for communicating with their players in regard to their team's daily plan.
Update: July 20, 2020
July 20, 2020
As always we appreciate your patience and support, especially during these unprecedented times. Below you will find the July 20 CIF Updates. Coaches will be meeting next week to discuss how we will be moving forward. From there, coaches will arrange parent meetings to go over the logistics of the new schedules, expectations, etc. Saint Mary's continues to keep the health and safety of our student athletes at the forefront. Saint Mary's administration and coaches are committed to working together to put the best plan forward in order to maintain the highest level of excellence. Saint Mary's athletics embraces this new challenge. Out of adversity comes opportunities. We will be ready for any obstacle ahead. GO RAMS!!

Ram Community,
I am happy to share that we have successfully resumed on-campus athletic activities. As of June 16, student athletes began conditioning on the field, track, pool and sand courts. We are extremely excited to get back to work, but with this comes new guidelines to ensure the health and well-being of everyone.

Saint Mary's Athletics
The interscholastic program is an integral part of Saint Mary’s High School. It holds many educational benefits for those students who elect to participate.
The self-discipline required of the students participating in interscholastic competitions provides a unique training opportunity not ordinarily available elsewhere in the curriculum.
All interscholastic activities of the school’s athletic department maintain the ideals and standards that are the policy of the school administration, the Tri-City Athletic League (TCAL), the San Joaquin Section (SJS), and the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF). Saint Mary’s High School’s athletic department strives to create an environment that promotes competitiveness, spirituality, teamwork, and self-discipline. We are committed to building character, developing responsibility, and promoting sportsmanship which become life-long traits.
