Welcome to high school athletics at VCS.  Here are some general aspects of our athletics programs that are consistent across most high school sports teams:

• Commitment – Athletes are expected to be at every practice and contest.

• Seasons – A typical season last approximately 12-14 weeks.

• Practices – Each week teams practice 4-6 days, Monday through Saturday.  No practices on Sundays.  Practices range from 1.5 to 2 hours in length.  Varsity teams occasionally run double-days early in the season, totaling 3-4 hours of practice time.

• Contests – Once contests begin, expect 1-3 contests per week.  

• Competition – Our teams compete at a high level in the Sierra Delta League, Div. VI.  Divisions are based on school size, not quality of competition.

• Varsity & JV – Our programs competes at both the Varsity and Junior Varsity levels.

• Transportation – Our teams use charter buses, vans, and parent-carpools to travel to and from contests.

• Coaches – Our coaching staff is comprised of both on-campus faculty coaches and off-campus coaches.

“A good coach can change a game.  A great coach can change a life.” 

– John Wooden
