Athletics

Welcome! 

Dear FCUSD families / students / community,

Welcome to Folsom Cordova Unified School District Athletics

On behalf of our coaches, advisors, teachers, and administrators, welcome to the Folsom Cordova Unified School District (FCUSD) athletic program! We wish you a successful and rewarding season.

Athletics are an essential part of the FCUSD student experience. We believe every student-athlete should have the opportunity to participate in interscholastic sports, within the guidelines of each sport, while promoting academic success, personal growth, and community pride. Our goal is for both the athlete and the program to reflect positively on the school and the community.

A successful athletic experience is built on the cooperation of five key partners: Student-athletes, parents/guardians, coaches, school staff, and district leadership.

FCUSD is committed to fostering integrity, sportsmanship, and academic excellence. Participation in athletics is a privilege, and we expect all student-athletes to demonstrate character, trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship.

As proud members of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF), we operate as an Education-Based Athletic Program. Athletics are a vital way to engage students in school life while teaching lifelong skills. To participate, students must meet eligibility standards including residency, academic performance, athletic clearance, attendance, and behavior expectations.

Thank you for your support of FCUSD Athletics. We look forward to a great season!

Education-Based Athletics

Our athletic programs firmly believe that all participants are students first and athletes second. Unlike youth sports and collegial level, FCUSD is an Education-Based Athletic program. FCUSD recognizes athletic competition as an integral part of the school experience. As such, all athletes should have the opportunity to participate in some form of interscholastic athletics within the limitations of each individual sport and such participation should encourage positive scholastic growth and achievement. Both the student athletes and the sport itself should be a credit to the school and the community. FCUSD realizes that an effective interscholastic athletic program is a product of the responsible cooperation among its five major contributors: the student athlete, the parents/guardians, the coaching staff, the school site and our district administration. FCUSD strives to strengthen the integrity of students and adults in the community by promoting the concepts of sportsmanship, honesty, and quality academics. These priorities advance the highest principles of character, trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and good citizenship.
