The day is coming when we will be able to meet in person as a school family again as student athletes, families, and coaches. And I know that exciting day is coming, but until then, we will continue to do our very best to keep you up to date and informed with all the information for ECHS and CIF upcoming sports.

On December 1st, a meeting was held with all of the CIF Commissioners from throughout the state of California to get an update and discuss all options regarding the pending start of our Season 1 Sports, previously scheduled to begin on Saturday, December 12, 2020. At the conclusion of the meeting the decision was made from the State CIF Office to postpone the start of all Season 1 Sports, until the point in which updated guidance has been released by the State of California. The State CIF Office does not expect the California's Public Health Department will issue any guidance allowing for schools to return to full practice and competition until after January 1, 2021, at the earliest.

At this point, all CIF Sections across the state have made the extremely difficult decision to officially postpone the start date for our Season 1 Sports, until the point in which we receive updated guidance from the State of California's Public Health Department (CDPH). Once we have this vital information, CIF will be able to re-evaluate the current plan, make any necessary adjustments, and potentially set a new date to open our Season 1 Sports for all our student athletes and coaches that make up the CIF-San Diego Section. The State Offices also made the decision to move the sport of Boys Volleyball to Season 2, returning to the season in which it is played on an annual basis.

We understand that this is not the information many of us were hoping to receive from CIF, and we look forward to the date in which we are able to provide you with an updated plan and date for our Season 1 Sports.
