This is very important about Granada Hills Charter High School sports! Granada is trying to make sports teams that have coaches from outside the school (not Granada teachers) have to start practice after 6th period (eg. soccer, cheer, baseball, wrestling, etc). There will be no study hall 5th period (unless Granada changes its mind) and an optional 6th period study hall. When students have games they will miss their whole 5th period class (and potentially even 6th period), which will be very detrimental to their learning and especially grades. Teams will not be able to see each other and practice during preseason because it will be against CIF rules to practice after school, and this will have a very negative effect on our teams compared to our competitors who will be practicing during school hours. Not to mention that this will obviously take away A LOT of the time students do homework, sleep, work, and other extracurriculars. We need to take a stand and voice our opinions to the administration and directors as to why this is the wrong decision.

I cheered during my high school years and served as captain with a part time job and other extra curricular activities. I understand the importance of sports during 6th period.
I'm in track and field and by not allowing us to start 6 period you will make practice last later in the day, which is already a problem that a large amount of student have because we don't have enough time to do all the work we get.
Granada needs to keep sports how they are. The students already carry a strong academic schedule and need time to participate in sports as well. Colleges are looking for well rounded students not just academic students.
The school is trying to fix a system that is not broken. I don't understand why they can't make study hall optional 5th period and leave sports where they are. By moving certain sports to after school, they are putting the teams at a disadvantage compared to other teams in the league leading to teams being worse and making high school sports no longer fun or worth the extra effort they are on top of AP classes and other outside activities. The school is trying to force more classes onto students who already take rigorous classes in order to make the school look better. All that does is neglect athletics and leads to great athletic players playing somewhere else.
I'm in two teams that require a 5th and 6th period for an effective practice. I volunteer after school and take multiple AP's. There's no way I can keep my schedule and keep my grades up at the same time if practice is after school
this is incredibly unfair to the student athletes with AP classes and their time consuming and exhausting sport. There's no time for any sleep to get school work done and be in a sport that drains you mentally and physically.
I'm not on a sports team but I am in show choir and I can sympathize with those athletes. I wish you all the best and hope you can keep your schedules.

Students already have enough in their plates why add more? Granada already has high standards for the students, especially when it comes to doing well on assignments. Adding this on top of everything else athletes got through will be like running over a student. Plus athletes also have club practices after school! That's three workouts everyday! That is very unhealthy and unnecessary as a sport already is challenging enough
