Team Information

Athletic Packet
All athletes must complete an Athletic Packet. Forms are available in the athletic director's office or online here. If an athlete has already participated in a sport at Gunn this year, then the athlete does not need to fill out another packet.

Sports Fee
All athletes must pay a $150 sports fee (payable to Gunn High School). This fee covers the expenses for transportation, meet entry fees, and other items in the athletic department budget. Financial hardship waiver forms are available in the athletic director's office.

Practice
We practice after school every day at 3:30PM, Monday through Friday. All practices are mandatory. Any non-illness absences (medical appointments, tutoring sessions, etc.) should be cleared in advance, preferably in writing. If an athlete has to miss practice for a non-illness related reason, he or she is expected to complete the workout on their own either during their prep period or in the evening. For freshmen and sophomores, unexcused absences are counted as a "cut" for their PE class. Failure to attend practice may "bench" an athlete for the following meet. Repeated unexcused absences will lead to dismissal from the team.

Practices on school holidays during the week are "recommended" and "highly recommended" for the varsity level athletes. Saturday practices are optional, but "recommended" for the varsity level athletes.

Meets
All weekday meets are mandatory. As with practice, all non-illness absences must be cleared in advance. Invitationals are optional for qualified athletes, although "recommended" for varsity athletes. Some meets are varsity only (Mt. SAC, CCS). Participation in those meets will be determined by the coaches.

Uniforms
When competing, athletes must wear school issued uniforms. Additional garments (spandex shorts or tights, short or long or long sleeve tops, athletic bras) must be a solid color and worn beneath the uniform. All relay team members’ uniforms must be identical. Jewelry is not allowed (earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.). Watches and prescription eyeglasses are considered equipment and are acceptable. Medical alert tags and religious items may be worn, but must be taped to the body.

Qualifying for Varsity
To earn a varsity letter, an athlete must satisfy at least one of the following:

Compete varsity at the league meet or CCS
Place in the top 7 in at least 5 meets
Be a senior who has been on the team for at least 3 years
