WHAT'S NEW   WHAT'S NEW   WHAT'S NEW   WHAT'S NEW   WHAT'S NEW

Enjoy the Summer
 

LONG TIME OFFICIAL PASSES The AAA/SF Section is sad to report the recent passing of long time Football and Baseball official Tony Patch.  Tony was a valued friend and supporter of the league and section as well as a true advocate for youth athletics in San Francisco.  He will be greatly missed!  Check back  later for information on a date and time for pending services.  Check this link for a related story about Tony.

ANOTHER ATHLETIC YEAR COMPLETE
The 2008-09 High School Athletic year has come to an end.  It's time for a break for our student athletes and coaches who, I'm sure, will take the summer to relax and revitalize themselves for another exciting year of interscholastic sports competition which will begin again in September.  And of course best wishes to our SF Section graduating seniors as they move on to new life adventures!
 

UCSF PLAYSAFE SPORTS MEDICINE PROGRAM
UCSF is once again partnering with the SFUSD Athletic Department to provide athletic trainers and functioning training rooms at each of the SFUSD high schools that participate in the AAA.   Check out this link for more information on this valuable program. 
  

SOFTBALL PITCHING CLINICS
Check out this link to information on some upcoming Softball fast-pitch pitching clinics for elementary, middle, and high school age girls.
 

NCGA PARTNERS WITH CIF SCHOOLS
The Northern California Golf Association, in conjunction with the California Interscholastic Federation, has created a new program that will provide FREE membership in the NCGA to all members of high school golf teams and one coach per team.  Check this link for more information on this program and instructions on how to become a member.

2002 McATEER YEARBOOKS AVAILABLE
The AAA Athletic Office has come across a number of McAteer HS yearbooks from 2002 (the final year before closing) in new condition.  Any former McAteer students interested in obtaining a free copy can call our office at 415-920-5185.

ALUMNI HISTORY PAGE
We have added an Alumni History Page to our web site.  This new section is dedicated to preserving specific historical athletic information from our past and present AAA/SF Section schools.  Check it out!  If you have any information about major school events or athletes who have made it to the Professional or Olympic level, please forward it to us via e-mail.  In addition, since our office is located at the old McAteer HS (currently SOTA HS), we are also in the process of gathering more in-depth information for you McAteer alums--yearbooks, athletic photos, past coaches list, etc.  If you ex-Jaguar athletes are able to help in our "fact finding mission," please feel free to call us at 415-920-5185 or forward the info via e-mail to us for posting.

ANNUAL CHAMPIONS POSTED
The updated AAA Annual Champions by Sport are posted on our Sport Info page.  Being that the AAA dates back to 1924, there are a number of years in various sports for which we have been unable to determine the champion.  We are, therefore, requesting your assistance in helping us "fill in the blanks."  If you have any information that might shed some light on those "dark years", please call us at 415-920-5185 or send an e-mail to John Zlatunich.  Together we can create and build a concise history of the AAA!
