The California Interscholastic Federation state office has begun distributing a monthly electronic newsletter designed for parents of the more than 735,000 high school student-athletes in the state.

As a result of discussions during numerous parents advisory committee meetings held throughout the state last year, one suggestion that was repeatedly brought forth was for the CIF to distribute relevant information for parents, directly to parents. The newsletter will keep parents informed on topics such as health and safety, eligibility and upcoming state championship events.

“The feedback we received from our parent groups was outstanding, especially regarding suggested ways to distribute information on health and safety and sports medicine issues,” CIF Executive Director Marie M. Ishida said in a statement released by the CIF. “Parents repeatedly told us they realize the value and importance of this information and how it aids them in ensuring a positive athletic experience for their children.”

The initial newsletter was sent out in early August and will continue on a monthly basis through the school year.

Parents interested in receiving the newsletter can sign up by visiting www.cifstate.org and clicking the link on the left side.
