Tryouts will take place on Aug 28th.  More information for the season will be available mid August.   All open gyms, tryouts, and practices will take place at EVCC (2245 E Valley Parkway) from 6-8pm on Monday nights. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to Coach Jen at jhernandez@classicalacademy.com. 

Here at CAMS, we view competitive athletics as a critical tool for developing the  discipline, character, communication,  and sportsmanship skills that are consistent with our TCA philosophy of developing tomorrow's Thinkers, Communicators, and Achievers. 

This interscholastic program provides an athletic opportunity for 7th and 8th grade boys and girls to compete against Escondido-based schools in a variety of sports throughout the school year!  We use locally based facilities for practices and rely on our parents to help coach and support our teams.  These sports include flag football, volleyball, soccer, basketball, with one cross country and track meet.

Who Can Participate in the CAMS Sports Program?

This program is for currently enrolled 7th and 8th grade students at CAMS (Summit and M-Track) and 7th and 8th grade C-Track students from The Classical Academy, Escondido campus.  

 Students must maintain a C or higher in each class to participate in extracurricular opportunities including but not limited to: sports, musical theater, ASB, dance, etc. Student-athletes are expected to meet all expectations of school behavior described in the Parent Student Handbook. 

We Need Parent Volunteers to Coach!

Our students  heavily rely on our awesome parents to coach our teams!  If you played in college, high school, have some, or no experience at all, but love working with kids, please let Mr. Powell know!  Interested but not sure if it fits your schedule??  Here is the basic commitment:

Who Do We Play?

We participate in the Escondido Small Schools League and play the following teams:

Calvin Christian

Escondido Christian

San Pasqual Union Elementary

Grace Christian

Some sports will pick up additional games, if desired, against other area teams such as Escondido Adventist, St. Joseph, etc.

Current Sports Seasons

Note:  There is ONE Cross Country meet between Seasons 1 and 2, and ONE Track Meet before Spring Break.

Sports Fee

All athletes must pay a sports fee that varies from sport to sport per season that they participate in.  This fee covers equipment, practice facilities, and referee costs.

There is a reduced fee of $10 for the cross country meet and the track meet.

Uniform

Badger sports shirt (available in CAMS front office for $10) and black shorts of player's choice.

Girls volleyball has a separate team sports top that is loaned to students at the beginning of the season.


Sports Waiver

Each athlete must complete and turn in a sports waiver to participate in any of our sports.  

This form only needs to be filled out one time and is good for any additional CAMS sports teams your player gets rostered on during the school year.


Sports Waiver, Release and Medical Authorization Form 



I Want to Play - How Do I Know When Tryouts Are?

Tryout occur 2-3 weeks prior to the season starting and information will be provided repeatedly at the following locations:

Are There Cuts?  What Skill Levels Make the Teams?

This is a competitive league and we play to win games so yes, sometimes there are cuts based on number of students that try out.  Having said that, we were able to have over 200 students participate in our various sports teams this past year!

Many of our sports offer an A and B team with A players being higher skilled and B team learning and working on their gameplay.  Many coaches also will offer, at their discretion, a "practice team" that focuses basic skill development during practices with limited playing time during the interscholastic games.

Cross Country Meet Running Layout - Jesmond Dene Park


 7th and 8th graders will choose which category they would like to race in.  (Varsity 2 miles with hill) / Jr Varsity 1 miles no hill)
