Do you have, or know, a student athlete playing the winter season? Do you want to support athletes at CRLS? Do you want to meet other caregivers and help build community across the teams and within Cambridge? If so, join the Friends of Cambridge Athletics (FOCA) meeting on Tuesday January 10th, 6pm – 7.30pm.

We will meet in person at the Athletics Department conference room in the War Memorial Building (use the CRLS War Memorial entrance, door 14, opposite Darwin’s) or join us via Zoom (details below).

At the meeting, we will share updates on current FOCA initiatives – the 35th Cambridge City Run, fundraising, team grants and scholarships. 

Some winter sports teams (basketball – boys and girls, gymnastics, ice hockey – boys, track & field, swim & dive, unified inter murals) are still looking for team liaisons – caregivers or friends of athletes who will support the students and the coaches, and caregivers. The role is a collaboration between the coach and the liaison, requires no minimum time commitment and is a great way to be engaged in the school. For more information, check out the description on the FOCA website. If you are interested in learning more, please join us at the meeting or email Maija.
