The Viking athletic teams are wrapping up the Fall Season and our athletes have had a lot of success. Girls Tennis, Girls Volleyball and Boys XC were all SCVAL league champions. Junior Stephanie Yu won the CCS Golf title and qualified for the CCS tournament. At the time of this printing several teams are still competing in the league playoffs. In addition, both the Boys Cross Country and Girls Volleyball teams were CCS Scholastic Award winners.

Progress on our fabulous new athletic complex is on pace to have the facility in use on August 1, 2017 (keep your fingers crossed). The complete rebuild of the gyms forced our aquatic teams (Water Polo, Swimming/Diving) and our indoor teams (Basketball, Badminton, Volleyball, Wrestling) to practice at various Palo Alto facilities and hold our home competitions at Gunn High School. Having to travel to various facilities for practice and games has been tough on our teams; however, the help of parents, district transportation, and the flexibility of our student-athletes have helped ease the chaos. A special thank you goes out to all the staff, students, and administration at Gunn, Terman, JLS and Jordan for sharing their facilities and welcoming our teams to their campus.

The Spring Season starts on Monday Jan 30th.  All athletes must register online once a year and have a valid physical (within 1 year) on file in the Athletic office.  Detailed registration instructions are posted online at paly.net/athletics
