CLICK HERE to see the latest info about youth sports from the California Department of Public Health.
UPDATE
New decisions and an update should be made available the first week of January.

Important points from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) update:
No sports competitions between schools until late January at the earliest.
On January 4 the CDPH will reassess the situation and send out another update.
The sports we will offer are dependent on the tier, contact-level, and location of activity.
These are the sports that we are looking into as options for the 2020-2021 school year, aligned with tier and location.

Athletic Forms:
Please continue to submit health examination and online forms. Transfer students will need to fill out an additional form that I submit through the CCS office. Athletic Forms and FAQ
Check this page often for updates from the athletics department.

The big announcement for the 2020-2021 school year is that there will only be two seasons of athletics.
The starting dates have been postponed and the Winter sports were moved into the Spring season.
- Season 1: Cross Country and Girls Volleyball
- Season 2: Boys and Girls Basketball, Tennis, and Track
These are the proposed starting dates for the two seasons in the 2020-2021 school year. Additional details can be found in the attached document here: CIF/CCS Athletics Calendar with relevant dates
PRACTICE START DATE | GAME START DATE | END OF THE SEASON | |
Season 1 | Early January 2021 (TBD) | January 25, 2021 | Mid-March |
Season 2 | March 15, 2021 | March 29, 2021 | End of May/Early June 2021 |
Transportation:
We will need a lot of help with driving this year as students will need additional space, and both parents and athletes may not be comfortable riding with non-household members. While we have our school van that can normally hold six athletes, we will probably only be able to safely transport two players with the van.
Athletic Forms:
In order to play sports at Kehillah, it is required by the state of California that all athletes perform, and submit a Health Examination physical that is dated within 12 months of the participation dates.
Please note that all forms need to be signed and returned before they can participate in any activity (practice, match). This is California state law.
- • Online Forms: This set of forms can be viewed and signed online, with no need to submit hard copies.
- • Health Examination: This form needs to be signed by a physician and either turned in as a hard copy or submitted electronically so that I can print it.
***Please note the following:
- • We receive a number of Health Examinations where the physical date is outside of the 12 month window, or will expire during the season.
- • The relevant date is not when the form is signed by the physician, it is the actual date of the most recent physical examination.
- • If a physical expires during the season, the student will need to get an examination, and have the form filled out before they are able to continue participating in the season.
We are looking forward to a great year of athletics! Please reach out to Ryan Greenfield at rgreenfield@kehillah.org if you have any questions or would like to submit your health forms.
Sincerely,
Ryan Greenfield
Director of Athletics
