CIF 2020-21 Sports Calendars

Yes CIF-SS is moving forward with sectional championships for soccer:)

Thank you CIF for thinking of the kids first and making the health math work out. No need to leave the kids stuck in the middle anymore with you know what. I just told my dd and she is so happy and super grateful. On behalf of all players & parents who actually take this HSS serious, they say, "thanks CIF." That would suck apples to have to sit down and tell her no playoffs again like I did a few years ago when that GDA league got started and zero playoffs for 8th graders and really nothing to play for except to showcase as an individual with no desire ((ganas)) to actually be crowned champion. Its called chasing the ring or the US Youth Soccer Championship or State Cup or CIF Champ. I wish all the HSS programs that have embraced the great HSS matches and put in the love and effort it needs to build a winning attitude. If you think it's too dangerous and riddled with serious injuries, then well, you will get what you think. Does that make any sense to anyone? You get what you think, hello!!!

P.S. I just realized I broke my promise of only posting on Sundays with Crush. I made a boo boo or a little mistake or worse, I didnt keep my word and that is something I'm striving for. Plus, I'm trying to share the forum with others. I will just read and get back to my word. I have some cool stuff I want to address on the 18th. Peace out!!

Poway High school girls varsity soccer team. What a class act. Your Senior night also honored your opponents Seniors (Del Norte) with a bouquet of flowers. My daughter was very thankful for her boquet. Hats off to the Lady Titans, coaches, and parents for the heartfelt gesture. You should all be proud. Thank you!
 
That’s a nice gesture to recognize the visiting team’s seniors.
I was wrong about this HS season. The team improved over the season, coaches were flexible with club players not being over worked and it’s always fun to hear opponents recognize each other after the game.
I watched several parents come to every game, only to see their players sit the bench...one might have gotten an aggregate of 20 minutes playing time throughout the season... A freshman keeper started one game and got lit up for 3 in the first 10 or 15 minutes...pulled and sat the bench by herself through the game. Coach consoling her afterwards was good on him.
No major injuries. No CIF tournament. Back to focusing on club.

My daughter’s team did the same thing. I think the opposing team was genuinely surprised by the gesture.

I love this--my daughter is a senior year and will suggest we reciprocate next year
 
I’m a HSS newbie…..can anyone tell me how the HOME team is determined in CIF beyond Round 1?
Bro, congrats and I mean that 100%. I welcome you with open arms. If you win league, you get first round I believe. Second round last year went like this and I think it's the same this year. LBHS came in 2nd. They play South Hills, the champ in their league. In the other bracket, Camarillo plays Brea. Brea won league. If both road teams win, then coin flip was already done to establish the home team for second round. If LBHS wins and Brea wins, then LBHS get's second round home game because Brea already had one. I hope that helps. Super excited Kicker, I mean that :)
 
Our school did this too. It was really nice to see the Seniors present flowers to the players on the other team. Many of whom are their friends and club teammates. Our player is new to the HS team. I was surprised by how much this moved me.
 
RU is really strong and fun to watch. Not our team but we will be rooting for them. Crush, I looking forward to hearing your take on the HS teams in playoffs that you know.

I love hearing about how strong teams have become in HSS and how prgrams went from bad to good. I honestly have no idea how good teams are this year in D2. Mater Dei, Capo and Harvard Westlake seem to be the top teams in D1. LBHS has 700 students I think so were always Goliath against the Davids of the world. It's cool. We take on any opponent. Always have always will. When we win, it's big news. When we lose it's, "oh well, they have 3,000 students to choose from in sports. If win and their private school and we upset them, it's even better :)

It's described in the CIF Playoff Bulletin https://cifss.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/2021PLAYOFF-BULLETIN.pdf
5. DETERMINATION OF SITES
To decide who shall be the host team AFTER the first round of competition will be the sole responsibility of the Commissioner. In cases where two teams are paired after the first round of the playoffs, the team having the fewest number of host games in playoff competition shall be designated as the host team. When both teams have had an equal number of host playoff contests, the Commissioner shall toss a coin to decide the host team. When a school has been designated as the host school for a playoff contest it shall (1) act in that capacity unless excused by the Commissioner, and (2) be considered the host team regardless of where the game is being played. SPECIAL NOTE: Teams receiving a bye in the first round shall automatically be the host team in the next round of the playoffs. Wild card contests do not count towards the total number of home or away contests.
 
Thanks all…guess I was selfishly hoping it was highest ranking team in the match up gets home field. Especially when considering some of the nightmare feels conditions some HS’s play on.

The fact you guys played PV twice and won league, you should have home field all the way to finals, MOO. I will confess I had to pull my dd aside before last years second round match up at home against PV because of their size and how hard they played. We lost 0-2 but she won because she did not get hurt. How did PV look this year bro? I dont get all this coin flip BS unless two road teams won.
