CCHS Athletics Engage 82% of Students Across 65 Teams, 23 Sports
CCHS athletics draw 82 percent of students into 65 teams across 23 sports, creating connections that extend beyond campus.
How we reported this
Culver City High School ran 23 athletic teams in the 2025-26 season, sending 21 squads to CIF Playoffs and claiming championships in boys volleyball and baseball.
The numbers reflect a program built on volume and reach. The school fields 19 girls sports and 21 boys sports for a total of 65 teams. That scale keeps hundreds of students in regular contact through practices, travel and shared facilities at Jerry Chabola Stadium.
Clearance and eligibility rules keep the pipeline open
Every athlete must register through the Athletic Clearance website and upload a physical exam form; paper copies are rejected. Participants must be under 19 on June 15 of the school year, satisfy CIF residency rules and complete no more than eight semesters of high school. These requirements are posted on the district site and enforced before any roster is finalized.
The 2025 varsity football slate at Jerry Chabola Stadium already lists concrete dates: Warren on September 19, Notre Dame/Sherman Oaks on September 26, Mira Costa on October 10 for homecoming and Lawndale on October 24 for senior night. Families plan around those fixtures months ahead.
High participation rate shows the reach
Eighty-two percent of students take part in at least one sport. That figure covers the full menu of 65 teams and leaves little room for idle after-school hours. Games and practices fill the calendar at a single high school that serves the entire city, so the same students who compete on Friday nights often volunteer at youth clinics or staff concession stands on weekends.
The next step for families is straightforward. New athletes should visit athleticclearance.com, schedule a physical and confirm residency documents before the first official practice. Returning players update their profiles on the same site each season. Those steps keep the 82 percent participation rate intact and maintain the steady flow of games that tie neighborhoods together.
