• Practices days and times along with game days will be posted on this page not the events page. So if your own a sports teams make sure you check this page often to know when you have practices and games.
• All students must maintain a C average (or better) to participate in sports. If your average drops below the minimal average you will be placed on academic probation and while you will still be required to go to games you will be benched during the game. It will be up to your coach to decided whether or not you can still practice with the team.
• You can only play one sport per season. So you can't be on football team and cross country team because they both take place during the fall season. You can play football in the winter and than play basketball in the winter as they take place during separate seasons.
• Prior to game days, players will be giving a form by their coaches that their teachers from every period must sign. If the game time coincides with one of your classes this excuses you from that class. If you miss school but go to the game you will be benched unless excused by a parent or guardian. If players fail to have their forms signed and returned to their coach they will be marked down as either absent or cutting by their teacher.
• As a freshman or sophomore if the team you wish to play on has a junior varsity and varsity team than if you get on the team you make junior variety first.
• Cross Country - Boys & Girls
• Football - Boys
• Golf - Girls
• Tennis - Girls
• Volleyball - Girls

The Cross Country team practices can be scheduled from Monday - Saturday. When practices are scheduled on school days they run from 4 pm to 5:30 pm. On Saturdays practices are from 8 am to 10 am. The Cross Country team is tough. Practices vary greatly in distance. Recovery runs may be only 3-4 miles, whereas a workout may be as much as 3-4 miles warm-up, 2-3 miles of workout, and then a cool-down of maybe 1 mile. So, if you plan on joining this team you better be ready to run your butt off because Coach Carre doesn't mess around and slackers will not be tolerated. If you are a runner and you want to better yourself as well as make a bunch of wonderful friends the school's Cross Country team could be the perfect place for you.

"The mission of the Hollywood High School football program is to field a team that excels on the field, achieves in the classroom, and positively impacts our school and community. Every athlete in our program will be treated with respect and dignity as we strive to reach our potential as a team and as individuals. We will always play the game with class, within the rules and with great intensity. Our program and football community will always appreciate and value diversity so that each individual experiences a safe environment that allows each student athlete to acquire the knowledge, the work ethic, and communication skills necessary to become responsible and productive members of society." - Coach Kevin Hastin
One of the most hard-working and ambitious teams here at Hollywood High - the football team. While others athletes at Hollywood High are returning to school and getting back into the swing of vigorous practices and workouts - the players of the football team have been sweating it out and working hard all summer. Heck! Coach Hastin has been working those boys since May with his crazy spring practices. Being both the coach for the varsity and junior varsity team those underclass man get no special treatment. Some say Coach Hastin is a bit of an extremist but, if that's what it takes to bring the championship home he has everyones permission to keep running those boys into the ground.
Having practices usually everyday after school and on Saturdays too - between homework, studying, practices and of course game day - you have to wonder how any of these players have social lives. Practices can be anywhere from an hour to three hours long taking place either in the weight room or on the field.
If your considering joining the football team you better be thinking about more than just popularity and cheerleaders. It takes a lot to play on Coach Hastin's team and he has been know to have players puking up their insides on the sidelines. If you join this team you better be ready for long practices, spending hours in the weight room, and hearing a lot Coach Hastin's screaming in your ear to the point were it's literally ringing.

In 2013 the Girls Golf Team won the team divisional tournament, which made them CIF Champions! They didn't have the same luck that following year but the fact of the matter is they were champions and could possibly be again. We realize that golf isn't one of the most interesting sports in the world, but if it floats your boat why not join the team. Seeing as there is no golf course on school grounds the ladies on the golf team get to practice at the Riviera Country Club. Because they're is no course on school property they typically have practice on the weekend. Practices are from 11 am to 1 pm.

With tennis ones has to ask their-self "What type of player do I want to be"? Captain, Doubles Player, Singles Player. Tennis is special in the sense that you don't have to play partner unless you want to. If you feel like your better on the court alone, you can be a singles player. If you feel like your not up there with the William Sisters and you'd rather have somebody out there with you, you can get a partner and play doubles.
Like with every other team at Hollywood High, the tennis team is all about practice, practice and more practice. The tennis season is only a two month period but that doesn't mean these girls don't have to work hard if they want to win. Fortunately for the tennis team there are courts at the school so they don't have to give up their weekends for practice time. The tennis team practices on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 3:30 pm to 5 pm unless they have a game.

While these girls weren't having practices all the way back in May, like the football players the volley girls had a busy summer. They had volleyball camp followed by practices from July to now. Practices over the summer went from 2 pm to 6 pm. With school back the hours have changed 4 pm to 7 pm. It may be a lot of hours but by early November their season comes to an end and all those mandatory practices come to an end until July rolls back around.

Our Philosophy
Improve the Individual: Each athlete must put in the work to be the best player they are capable of becoming for the benefit the team. "Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming." John Wooden
Build the Team: Individual athletes working together can accomplish far more than each individual member. “One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.” Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; “The best teams have chemistry. They communicate with each other and they sacrifice personal glory for the common goal.” Dave DeBusschere
Establish the Program: Each athlete is a valuable member of the Hollywood Sheiks Basketball Program. The conduct of each player is expected to positively contribute to the overall reputation of the program. Players are accountable to each other 24 hours a day on and off the court. “What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player.” John Wooden
Impact the Community: Finally, players are expected to be positive role models away from the gym and have a positive impact in the surrounding community. "If all I'm remembered for is being a good basketball player, then I've done a bad job with the rest of my life." Isiah Thomas

Another team with a summer program that kept their players working hard during the summer is the Girls Soccer team. In June the girls week through a week long summer camp followed by playing two summer games, one in June and the other in July. Considering how others athletes at Hollywood High spent their summer baking under the hot sun for longer than a mere seven days - these girls had it considerably easier than others.
As far as the regular season goes, they play one game in November that kicks off the season and it runs until around the second week of February. Practices for the team are usually about two hours long and are usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt April 23, 1910 from the speech "Citizenship in a Republic."
The Wrestling team practices for two hours from Monday to Fridays.
