Varsity Tennis Free Lance for the first year. Goal = 10 game schedule

IV. Potentially Adding

Middle School Baseball & separating Co-Ed Soccer into Boys Soccer and Girls Soccer. Depends on being able to find an available league to switch over all our Middle School Sports.

V. Re-Leaguing

Happens every 4 years- Would take place starting for the 2018-2019 school year. If we don’t switch now we’d have to wait until the 2022-2023 school year.

Dominating our league - Not doing everything we can to improve our sports programs & embarrassing to the other teams in our league Kicked out of Warrior League- We have the potential to be kicked out of our league because of Competitive Equity. Our league can vote to have us kicked out, which would lead us to free lancing all our of sports until we can find a new league. Potentially switch into the South Valley League (Division 6). Join Santa Rosa, Temecula Prep, Nuview, Calvary Murrieta, CMI Would become 11 man football (2018-2019) May help keep more Middle School students from leaving for High School, and help gain more transfers from other High Schools.
