CHHS Team Schedules & Standings
Tryouts
Tryout and team information will be given in the weeks leading up to the start date of each sport. For fall sports, tryout information will be given on the first day of school. This information is typically spread through in-school announcements and our athletics social media @chhsathlectics. Students are expected to get an Annual Authorization for Athletic Tryout form signed by their parents and handed in to the coach before they are allowed to try out.
We are eagerly anticipating the return of our student-athletes to represent Crescent Athletics for the 2023-24 school year! It is our mission to return to a successful athletics program for all of our student-athletes and coaches to participate in. We want to ensure that each of our teams is inclusive, safe, positive and welcoming for everyone, ensure good practice to competition ratio, promote good values and ethics, provide leadership opportunities, ensure academics remain priority, and enhance all the life skills that go beyond sport.
There are opportunities within our Athletic program available, whether you are an athlete, trainer, scorekeeper, supporting friend, spirited fan, or Instagram follower (@chhsathletics). We look forward to your return to Crescent Heights, as we endeavour this year to be the best version of the Cowboys!

Fees
Each team will have fees associated with them. These fees will vary from team to team. Most team fees will cover the expenses of league play (referees, facility bookings), uniform rentals, photos, equipment, training supplies and substitute coverage costs for teachers. Higher fees are typically indicative of more out-of-town tournaments, team clothing and other team specific opportunities.
Practice and Game Schedules
Most teams are active before and/or after school, 4-5 days per week. It is a heavy but rewarding experience. Generally speaking, there will be 2-4 practices a week, 1-2 games a week, and tournaments on some weekends depending on the sport. Tryout, practice and tournament schedules will be communicated at the beginning of the season, and all game schedules for all sports are posted at Calgary High School Sports at the beginning of each season. Students should expect to travel on their own to off-site league games for most teams, but will generally travel as a team on a school bus to out-of-town tournaments.
