​2020-21 ATHLETICS RETURN TO PLAY UPDATE

The SF Section has changed the practice start dates and the league schedule start dates to TBA for cross country, competitive cheer, flag football, football, and volleyball.  These five fall/winter sports were scheduled to begin practice in December.
           
The dates have been changed to TBA because our SF Section schools do not meet the current SF County Department of Public Health standards to begin practice/play.  The schedules have been changed to TBA as opposed to cancelled to reserve our schools’ ability to meet the current SF DPH standards at their discretion.
           
Be advised that both State and County standards will likely change shortly.  While we have no current information on what the changes will be, we note they will almost certainly take into account the increased spread of COVID-19.
           
Further updates will be posted as soon as the new State and County standards are available and any subsequent  changes received from the CIF State office.  Finally, please remember that individual schools and Districts always have the authority to refuse to participate in any CIF State or San Francisco Section activity just as schools and Districts can refuse to participate in one or more sports in any CIF Section.  We will post how our member schools will proceed once the new standards are in place.
MISSION HIGH COACH LAMAR WILLIAMS REMEMBERED AFTER TRAGICALLY LOSING HIS LIFE
The SF Section is sad to report the recent death of Mission High School Track coach Lamar Williams. ChiChi, as he was fondly referred to by many of his fellow coaches and athletes, was an unfortunate victim of gun violence. Lamar, 38, dedicated his life to helping student athletes not only as a coach, but also as a mentor, always willing to put in the time to help improve their lives on and off the field. We send out condolences to his family and close friends during this time of loss. He will be missed by many.

AAA STAR ATHLETE AND COACH CHARLES HATCH PASSES
The SF Section mourns the recent passing of former Wilson HS star athlete and long time SFUSD employee and coach Charles Hatch. "Hatch," as he was fondly referred, was a star Football, Basketball, and Track athlete in the early 1970's at Woodrow Wilson HS, culminating his high school athletic career by winning the high jump at the 1974 State Track meet with a leap of 7 feet. For the past 20+ years, Charles coached numerous sports at Presidio middle school and Burton, Lincoln, Lowell, and Wilson high schools, helping mentor and improve the lives of many SFUSD student athletes. For the past couple years he did this all while battling cancer to which he unfortunately finally succumbed. Please keep Charles' family in your thoughts and prayers. Also, please view this website for a very nice tribute to Coach Hatch.

NFHS OFFERS FREE ROLE OF PARENT IN SPORTS COURSE AND VIDEO

The Positive Sport Parenting course provides information on how parents can help their son and/or daughter enjoy and succeed in high school sports.

ALUMNI HISTORY PAGE
We provide an Alumni History Page under the About Us menu item above dedicated to preserving specific historical athletic information from our past and present AAA/SF Section schools. Check it out! If you have any information about major school events or athletes who have made it to the Professional or Olympic level, please forward it to us via e-mail.
ANNUAL CHAMPIONS POSTED
The updated AAA Annual Champions by Sport are posted on our Schedules/Results/Standings page under the SPORTS menu item above. Being that the AAA dates back to 1924, there are a number of years in various sports for which we have been unable to determine the champion. We are, therefore, requesting your assistance in helping us "fill in the blanks." If you have any information that might shed some light on those "dark years", please call us at 415-920-5185 or send an e-mail to John Zlatunich. Together we can create and build a concise history of the AAA!
