Tryouts will be announced at least two weeks in anticipation of the try out date on Buena Today video announcements, posted about the school, on our try-outs page of our website, and in our printed bulletin. All students wishing to try out for a sport must be medically cleared by a qualified doctor and complete the Register My Athlete electronic forms prior to stepping foot on the field or court for tryouts.

Sports for PE Credit

Students who wish to utilize team involvement in lieu of a traditional PE class in grades 9 and 10 must be selected on a team for one sport per semester (both Fall and Spring semesters) in order for it to be counted as a P.E. course.

Closed Practices

Athletic practices are closed to the general public and parents as well, unless prior arrangements have been made with the head coach and athletic director for a planned visit.

Playing Time Expectations

Unlike youth sports or pay to play sports, high school sports participation is based upon academic eligibility, skill level, and attendance of all practices and games. The high school level of athletic competition is extremely competitive and we play to win. That said, stronger players often receive starting positions and more playing time during contests. We will always work to develop all of our players equally during practices to ensure opportunities for improvement so that additional playing time can be earned, but this is by no means a guarantee and is always a coaching decision.

24 Hour Cooling-Off Period

Emotions can run high when our children are involved. For that reason, we must insist on a 24 hour cooling off period so cooler heads prevail when discussing topics of concern or agitation. It is never appropriate to broach conversations voicing concern or disapproval with a coach on a contest day.

Concerns or Complaints during the Course of Season

Concerns or complaints should always be resolved at the lowest levels first whenever possible following the steps outlines below.

Step 1. Speak directly with the Head Coach

Step 2. If no resolution is reached, Speak with the Athletic Director at (805) 289-1826, ext. 2030

Step 3. If no resolution is reached, speak with the Assistant Principal in charge of the athletics Program at (805) 289-1826, ext. 1014

*Following the chain of command will be strictly adhered to in addressing concerns as presented, and those in need of an audience will be directed to the appropriate person for a resolution and/or investigation.
