Warriors Sports Calendar

Dear parents and student-athletes,

​I am glad to announce the return of the SPHSL for our Varsity Volleyball and Soccer Teams. This league will be shorter than we are used to, but extremely significant and meaningful nonetheless. This semester’s SPHSL will be a five-team round-robin format, and games will be played on the following Saturdays:

• November 6 vs Graded (Home)
  
• November 20 vs Chapel (Home)
  
• December 4 vs St. Paul’s (Away)
  
• December 11 vs EAC (Away)
  

To ensure the safety of everyone involved, we will be following strict health and safety protocols. Please see the requirements at the end of this letter. 
 
A provision specific to Covid-19 has been added to São Paulo High School League's Constitution, which determines a limit to the number of players that can be officially selected for a match (12 for volleyball and 18 for soccer). Therefore our coaches will be selecting and notifying the student-athletes who will be playing every week prior to the game on Saturday. 
 
Our coaches will be using the following criteria to select student-athletes for each game: 

• Skill level 
  
• Teamwork
  
• Effort
  
• Commitment
  
• Attendance/Punctuality
  

 
In our Athletics Program, we want all our student‐athletes to learn the value of being on a team and the contribution that each must make. However, this contribution is not limited to game time only but also includes being on the bench and participating constructively in all practices throughout the season for the good of the team. Therefore, there will be no room for discussion or complaints regarding playing time, we expect our students to learn and grow from all these experiences.
 
We believe this return to interscholastic athletics is an important step in the lives of our student-athletes and our community. Our desire is to progressively increase the amount of athletic opportunities available to our students in the future, but in order to do so, we depend on safely overcoming this step now. Please carefully read the SPHSL Safety Protocols below, since this is paramount to the success of our league. As our plans develop for next semester, we will keep you updated. 
 
Kind regards,
Renato Thompson de Sousa
Athletic Director
