San José High offers a variety of sports for all students. Every player deserves to be coached and at San Jose High we take this philosophy very seriously. Not only do we try to have every player reach their potential, we also strive to make playing sports at San Jose High an enjoyable experience.

At San José High, we stress inclusive participation rather than exclusive competition.  A 2.0 grade-point average is required for a student to participate in a sport or activity. We expect our student athletes to succeed in the classroom as well as on the athletic field. Our athletes are motivated to push themselves in their studies and provide an example for our student body of effective time management, sportsmanship, and school spirit. Our skilled coaching staff are expected to provide our student athletes with the training, tools, and skills they need to succeed on and off the field.

We believe that athletics and strong academics go hand-in-hand. So come out, join a team and represent our BULLDOGS!

PLEASE NOTE:

Seasons of Sport: Student-athletes must complete their current season of sport before trying out for the next season.

  • Fall Season (August - November)
  • Winter Season (October - February)
  • Spring Season (January - May)

Academic Eligibility Standards: All Student-Athletes must maintain a minimum of 2.0 GPA and complete a minimum of 20 units per grading period. Most recent posted grades will be used for eligibility qualifications at the start of each season and initial grade checks.

New Students: Any student-athlete that did not attend San José High for the previous school year, needs to set up a meeting with the Athletic Director, Richard Osborne, to discuss transfer paperwork for eligibility.

Game Play Time: Playing time is at the coach’s discretion and takes many factors into consideration including, but not limited to: attendance of team practices, overall effort, participation and teamwork, team goals, and team policies. If a coach asks players to sign a contract, please read it thoroughly and do not hesitate to ask questions. Students, and possibly parents/guardians signatures will be required for participation as a member of the team.
