Interscholastic Athletics Welcome
Interscholastic athletic participation is an enriching co-curricular opportunity for the students in the upper school. While all students are welcomed to try out and participate, there are expectations set by the Bay Area Conference (BAC), North Coast Section (NCS), and California Intercollegiate Federation (CIF), the three governing bodies for our participation in high school athletics. In addition, Making Waves Academy has expectations for its student athletes as well. Participation in athletics helps teach resilience, teamwork, cooperation, sportsmanship, dedication, perseverance, fitness, and so much more. Please be advised that parents/guardians must sign a concussion/head injury information sheet on a yearly basis if their student is an athlete on any of the MWA’s athletic teams. This does not apply to an athlete engaging in an athletic activity during the regular school day or as part of a physical education course. For eligibility and participation requirements, please review our MWA Athletics Participation Policy located in the upper and middle School offices.
