Q4 Sports Registrations (paperwork, fees and physicals) are due by 7 pm TONIGHT. Q4 Sports Boys Baseball, Girls Softball, Track & Boys Volleyball. Q4 sports parent meeting will be in the gym on Monday, March 25th at 2:45. Our season starts March 26th. You must re-register every quarter for a new sport.

When Corona Foothills Middle School was built in 2005, funding was unavailable for our second field to be developed. Located south of the basketball courts in the desert area, this field would have been our softball, soccer, and football field. We have been fortunate to be able to use Sycamore’s fields for these sports. We're excited to announce that much needed renovations to our school's athletic field are scheduled to begin at the end of quarter three! These improvements will greatly improve our playing field and will bring football and soccer back to our home field; we will continue to use Sycamore’s field for softball. There will be some temporary adjustments for quarter four sports due to the field renovations: Baseball and Softball teams will share the Sycamore’s field and Corona’s gym during the renovation period. Practices will look markedly different than normal. Practice schedules will be adjusted to accommodate both teams. We are likely only to be able to accommodate A teams. Baseball will only play away games. Track Track practice will be held on the Copper Ridge Elementary field. Transportation will be provided to the elementary school for practices. Students will leave campus at 3:00. This will give them some time to dress out and to stretch at CFMS Our activity bus will leave here at 4:15 and then go directly to Copper Ridge to pick up track before it runs its regular route. The activity bus will not return students to CFMS. The coaches will adapt training routines to utilize the available facilities effectively. We understand that these changes will require some flexibility from our athletes and families. We want to assure you that we are committed to providing quality athletic experiences despite the temporary limitations. We will hold an informational meeting for parents and athletes on the first day of practice to address any questions or concerns. We appreciate your understanding during this time. We are confident that the temporary adjustments will be worthwhile in the long run as we gain an athletic field.
