Fall sports

CKM’s football team works hard under the leadership of new coach Malcolm Floyd. All home games take place on campus. A small admission fee is charged with a discount available to students with an ASB sticker. The games always feature a halftime performance by the acclaimed CKM Marching Band and Color Guard. The atmosphere is highlighted by our cheer squad and playful mascot, Leo the Lion.

The men’s and women’s varsity cross-country and water polo teams; women’s volleyball, golf and tennis teams; and men’s soccer teams are usually highly successful within the Metro League.

Winter sports

Basketball is a strong tradition at CKM with a full roster of junior varsity and varsity players in both men’s and women’s hoops. Basketball games have a small admission fee, with a student discount for those with the ASB sticker.

Much-revered basketball coach Harvey Tahara retired in 2011 after 40 seasons coaching both men’s and women’s basketball. “Coach T” was honored, and his “jersey” retired, at the final home basketball game vs. the Burbank Titans. At that time, Superintendent Raymond also announced that the CKM gymnasium would be renamed Janice and Harvey Tahara Court.

The 2010/2011 men’s and women’s wrestling team has a new head coach, TS Hamilton. Coach Hamilton was the assistant wrestling coach last season. The wrestling team also has two new assistant coaches, Shawn Smith & Dean Peckham, who are also CKM parents. Matches are fast, exciting and admission is free for students and just one dollar for adults. For more information contact Coach Smith at 445-8932 or Coach Peckham at 508-0892.

The CKM rugby team participates in the Sacramento Valley High School Rugby Conference as a Club sport with varsity, junior varsity, and freshman teams. CKM’s team is a growing tradition and competing successfully with established programs such as Christian Brothers, Jesuit and Cordova.

Spring sports

The fields come alive at CKM in the spring, with baseball and softball, women’s soccer, track and field and men’s tennis. The swim and dive team keeps the pool busy daily after school, and the men’s volleyball team uses the gym. There is an opportunity for every student to participate in a sport during the spring season as many of these sports have a no-cut policy.
