Home of the Wolfpack!

Caldera High School strives to provide an athletic program that is a source of pride for our school and community. Through sportsmanship, leadership, and teamwork, we will instill the qualities of being champions at life. Competing with our highest level of effort in the athletic arena is a priority for our athletic department, but learning valuable lessons beyond the fields and courts through participation in sports is the ultimate goal.

Caldera offers a variety of athletics and activities where students are welcome to a variety of experiences. Student athletes will have opportunities to develop teamwork, commitment, discipline, leadership, work ethics, grit, sportsmanship and sacrifice. The pressure to “win the game” is not placed above education, character development, academics, social/emotional, physical, and ethical well-being of the student-athlete.

MESSAGE TO OUR PARENTS, COMMUNITY AND SPECTATORS

As a member of the Oregon School Activities Association, we remain committed to providing a positive environment for students, coaches, officials, and spectators. Athletics are a part of the educational experience that emphasizes fairness, respect, ethics, and good citizenship. As you support Caldera Athletics, please keep in mind that educationally-based high school athletics are friendly competitions grounded in sportsmanship and fair play. Positive comments, encouragement, and cheering for our teams are great ways to show support. Negative comments, taunting, berating, and booing opponents, coaches, and officials will not be tolerated as this will challenge the values we seek to teach our youth.

MESSAGE TO OUR ATHLETES

We look to our opponents, officials, and stakeholders as complements to how hard we play, the way we go about our business, and how we conduct ourselves. Entering the field of play, during the course of competition, and how we leave the game, will define our respect of the sport, the opposing school, officials, our community, and ourselves. Demonstrating sportsmanship at the highest level is of the utmost importance. We have been given an amazing opportunity in athletics to represent ourselves, families, school, and community. We will remain committed to keeping this in mind while we grow together.

Welcome to Caldera!

Play the Caldera Way!

Caldera High School Facility Features:

In addition, the outdoor facility consists of 8 tennis courts, restrooms, concessions, and storage facilities.

All locker room facilities are housed in the main building with large and small team rooms complimenting a main physical education locker room.

Physicals

Students participating in extracurricular sports must have a current sports physical on file in the Athletics Office. Sports physicals expire 2 years from exam date and need to be renewed on a 2-year cycle to remain current. We encourage renewal between school years to avoid expiration during your sport season. ALL PHYSICALS MUST BE ON THE OSAA SPORTS PHYSICAL FORMS, or we can NOT accept it. Please be sure to print your the OSAA School Sports Pre-Participation Examination form before your appointment:

• English
• Spanish
• Other languages can be found at the OSAA forms website.

Take it to your child's sports physical appointment. When you have completed the sports physical, please turn it in to the school.

Wellness Check

As an advocate for your children, we hope that parents of athletes and non-athletes alike will also consider an annual Wellness Check – a complete medical examination and screen for common health issues – annually.

Wellness Check visits are vital to your child’s healthy growth and development. Physicians suggest adolescents should have regular wellness visits to make sure they are developing at the expected pace and continue to remain healthy.

During these visits, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your child’s growth, development, behavior and other health issues with the goal of preventing illness and promoting the best possible health for your student.

We encourage you to consider discussing the possibility of adding a Wellness Check to your next sports physical, with your physician.

Note: If you choose a Wellness Check in place of a physical, you must complete the physical form with your physician to be eligible for OSAA athletics. The form is available in your school’s athletics office and in the link above.

Eligibility and Code of Conduct

Any student who participates in school-sponsored athletics or activities must agree to abide by the School District Board Policies, Administrative Rules, Code Of Conduct, building rules and team participation/training regulations. All students who participate in athletics and extracurricular activities are expected to be positive role models for other students and members of the community at all times. This signed contract shall be in effect at all times during the contract period. “At all times" means 24 hours a day, every day of the week whether at school or away from school. The contract will be in effect from the beginning of the OSAA calendar (see osaa.org website for each years start date) and conclude with the last day of high school.
