Our top priority is the health and safety of our students. Coaches will follow the policies and guidelines set by Santa Rosa City Schools and CIF/NCS. The threshold for outdoor practice is 150 AQI. When AQI hits 150, then practice will be moved indoors (e.g. treadmill workouts) or cancelled. Coaches may also modify practice time, location, or intensity, as needed. Change will be communicated through Remind.

Important Note: If parents or students have concerns about any related conditions or sensitivity to AQI, please consult your medical professional and talk to the coaches to discuss options.

See AQI websites below.
