Philosophy
Winning is not an outcome, Winning is an Attitude.
The fundamental purpose and goals of San Ramon Valley Athletic Department mirror the purpose and goals of the school in general. Specifically, San Ramon Valley High School recognizes that its interscholastic athletic program is an integral part of the total education program. It is our philosophy to provide a positive atmosphere of sportsmanship and learning, both at practice sessions, and at interscholastic events, and at the same time provide a healthy competitive experience for our students. San Ramon Valley High recognizes that striving to win is part of the American way of life, however, the element of competition and winning, although it exists, is controlled to the point that it does not determine the nature of our athletic program.
Funding of San Ramon Valley High School Athletics
High School athletics in the San Ramon Valley Unified School are “self funded.” Our athletic programs do not receive funding for equipment, transportation, athletic trainers, facility improvements, officials, most coaching stipends, and all of the administrative cost of running an athletic department. As such, your participation contribution is solicited to fund our valuable athletic teams- without your generous contributions we will not be able to offer sports at SRV.
The $65.00 dollar PAL (Program At Large) contribution is needed to cover all costs not accounted by the team’s budget. Items that the PAL covers include: playoff expenses, awards program, athletic administration support, secretarial assistance, facility upgrades, first aid supplies, athletic trainer coordinator, portable restrooms, field rental, and game management costs. The $10.00 facility maintenance request is ear-marked toward facility improvements.
Although the athletic programs can only survive through parent contributions, participation in athletic programs is not dependent on financial contributions. We encourage all interested students to try out for athletic teams.
League
All teams participate in the East Bay Athletic League (EBAL) along with De La Salle, Carondelet, Amador Valley, Foothill, Granada, Livermore, California, and Monte Vista. San Ramon Valley High School is a member of the North Coast Section (NCS) of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and follows both in practice and sprit, the rules, regulations, and procedures of these three groups.
