Sports Season and Penalties for Violations

• The season of sport for a school starts from the first interscholastic contest and ends with the last contest for that sport. Each sport's season is determined by the North Coast Section. Official start dates for each sport can be found on North Coast Section Website. 

• A student may participate in a maximum of four seasons of a specific sport during a four-year high school tenure and only one season per sport in a school year.

• No athletic contests, practices, or team gatherings are allowed on Sundays. 

Penalties for Violating Season of Sport Rules

• Practice Violations: If a school holds practices during declared respite times, they face penalties, including:

  • 1. For every practice held during the respite, the school is prohibited from conducting twice as many regular practices.

    2. Games played during respite time will result in forfeiture.

    3. Additional sanctions may include probation, reduction of maximum contests for the following year, or suspension from CIF membership for repeated violations.

• Outside Competition: Students who compete on an outside team during their high school sport season become ineligible for a number of contests equal to twice the number of outside competitions participated in.

• Subsequent Violations: Any further infractions can lead to a one-year (365 days) ineligibility from all sports.
