Athletics

To participate in Anza Athletics, AN ANNUAL SPORTS PHYSICAL MUST BE ON FILE in the school nurse’s office.  Sports physicals expire at the end of each school year and must be renewed yearly.  Athletes are ineligible to participate without a sports physical on file.

  • Please complete all forms and return them to the Anza Trail health office.

  • There is a participation fee of $25 per sport season, per athlete. We only accept cash or money order for athletics fees, no checks. These fees help provide equipment for sports teams, pay game officials,  and provide transportation to and from contests.  Scholarships are available if a student cannot afford the fee.  Please submit a letter requesting a scholarship to an administrator.

    Students are issued a uniform free of charge and are expected to return the uniform in good condition.  If the uniform is not returned, damaged, or lost, the student will be charged for the replacement of the uniform.  The student will also lose the privilege of fun activities or field trips until the uniform is returned or paid for.

  • Students are expected to adhere to all student conduct policies,  including bus rules, while participating in athletics.  Eligibility sheets will be issued to each participating student and will be turned in to coaches every two weeks. There must be no D’s or F’s in order for the student to play.

  • Engaging in outdoor athletics in high heat can be challenging and potentially dangerous. Here are some important tips to ensure safety:

    • Drink Water Regularly: Drink water before, during, and after physical activity. Aim to drink at least 8 ounces of water every 20 minutes during exercise.
    • Electrolyte Balance: Consider sports drinks that contain electrolytes to replace sodium, potassium, and other minerals lost through sweat.
    • Light-Colored Clothing: Wear light-colored, loose-fitting, and lightweight clothing to reflect the sun’s rays.
    • Moisture-Wicking Fabrics: Choose clothing made from moisture-wicking materials to help keep your body cool and dry.
    • Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to all exposed skin, and reapply every two hours or more frequently if sweating.
    • Intensity: Lower the intensity of your workout or take more frequent breaks to avoid overheating.
    • Gradual Exposure: Gradually increase the duration and intensity of your workouts over a period of 1-2 weeks to help your body adjust to the heat.
    • Shaded Areas: Whenever possible, choose shaded areas for your workout to reduce sun exposure.
    • Avoid Concrete and Asphalt: These surfaces can become extremely hot and radiate heat, increasing your risk of overheating.
    • Cold Packs: Use cold packs or wet towels on your neck, wrists, and forehead to cool down quickly after exercise.
    • Cool Showers: Take a cool shower or bath to help lower your body temperature.

    Know the Signs of Heat-Related Illnesses

    • Heat Cramps: Muscle cramps, often in the legs or abdomen.
    • Heat Exhaustion: Heavy sweating, weakness, cold, pale and clammy skin, fast or weak pulse, nausea or vomiting, and fainting.
    • Heat Stroke: High body temperature (above 103°F), hot, red, dry or moist skin, rapid and strong pulse, possible unconsciousness. Heat stroke is a medical emergency and requires immediate attention.
    • Rest When Needed: If you feel dizzy, weak, or excessively tired, stop exercising and rest in a cool place.
    • Seek Medical Help: If you experience symptoms of heat stroke, seek medical help immediately.

    By following these precautions, you can minimize the risks associated with exercising in high heat and enjoy your outdoor activities safely.
