Welcome to Blues House

A Member of Bay Counties League-West

The same kind of initiative and enthusiasm that animates Urban classrooms also inspires the Blues in athletic competition. Urban Athletics provides experiences for competitive athletes and for students trying out a new sport. The interscholastic program promotes respect, discipline, integrity, commitment, physical fitness, sportsmanship, leadership and teamwork.

Students can participate at the varsity, junior varsity or frosh-soph levels. JV and frosh-level teams focus on fundamentals and teamwork, while varsity teams emphasize competition and advanced skills. During 2022-23, 70% of students participated on a team, a testament to the importance of athletics as part of Urban’s overall educational program.

Team Parent/Guardian Job Description

Team Parent/Guardian Job Description

TEAM PARENT/GUARDIAN

As the Team Parent/Guardian, you will be the primary point of contact between the parents/guardians, coach(es), and Athletic Department. Your responsibilities will help to ensure the season runs smoothly and is filled with team spirit, and to increase the time coaches spend coaching instead of managing administrative tasks. As the Team Parent/Guardian, it is NOT your role to intervene with coaches on behalf of players and/or their parents/guardians (and vice-versa).

The Team Parent/Guardian will serve a single season term.

The following list represents the typical responsibilities of the Team Parent/Guardian. The actual responsibilities may vary depending on the needs of the coach.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Send welcome email to parents/guardians at beginning of season. (Sample email available upon request from the Parent Engagement Committee Co-Chairs.)
Send athletic event reminders with date, time, location, opponent, uniform color (if applicable), and bus schedule (provided by Athletic Dept.).
Assist coach with special requests (e.g., season kick-off meeting; team bonding events; end of season party).
Assist Athletic Dept. with special requests (e.g., communicating schedule changes, coordinating Senior Recognition).
Encourage parents/guardians to attend and cheer at events (incl. wearing Urban spirit gear), and to take photos (used for the Yearbook and the Athletics Banquet).
Submit photos to Urban’s Marketing/Communications Dept. using the Photo tool found here.
Help organize carpools, if needed.
Report final scores to Athletic Dept.
Remind parents and players to return uniforms.

OPTIONAL / EXTRAS

Create a snack schedule (send a reminder 1-2 days before the athletic event and a thank you after the event). Please be aware of food allergies.
Organize end-of-season team gift for coach(es).
Organize end-of-season team party.
Send thank you email to guest player’s parents/guardians.
In the unfortunate event of a player injury, contact the player’s parents/guardians with get-well wishes and an offer to help.

Student Athletes: Leaders In The Making

At Urban, our multitalented student athletes have the opportunity to showcase their skills on and off the field. Urban students achieve a high level of success for their respective teams, as well as excelling in other co-curricular activities. Whether in music, theater, student government, or club and activity leadership, Urban athletes are willing to go beyond the field or court and contribute their talents to the broader Urban community.

Physical Activity Requirement

In addition to our interscholastic sports teams, Urban also has a physical activity requirement for all students. The program is designed to meet two goals: to instill in students both the lifelong value and the habits of engaging in a physically active lifestyle and to satisfy state requirements for physical education in schools. To honor a diversity of interests and abilities, students can meet requirements by taking Urban classes or through participation in approved activities outside of school. Some of the classes Urban offers include:

Yoga
Rock Climbing
Dance
Strength and Conditioning
Urban Hiking
High-Intensity Interval Training

Sportsmanship

Urban School of San Francisco practices the principles of good sportsmanship and honors the values of the CIF and BCL Conference. We stress the values of playing the game fairly, being courteous and cordial to visiting teams and officials, and emphasizing ethical conduct and fair play. We encourage our student body and parents to attend as many athletic contests as possible and to always adhere to our sportsmanlike code of conduct.
