Overview
Mission
MCAL oversees all athletics for high schools in our county. We use the National Federation Rule books. We schedule all league play and host end of the season tournaments. By hosting the events we cut costs for our high schools. We host 56 events with 20-1600 people attending in a typical year. We over see the coaching education program for the schools. In California coaches are required to take certain courses. It is also our job to host re & post season meetings with our coaches and present them with rulebooks and education from our officials organizations. We hold 40+ meetings a year with at least 12 people attending each meeting. We also hold monthly meetings with our 9 athletic directors for implementation of our sports schedules and meet six to 9 times a year with our principals of our high schools who make up our governing board. Put simply our purpose is to supply the student athlete at our local high schools with the best athletic opportunities we can.
What it reported doing in 2024
Meetings The office holds meetings in all 18 sports with head coaches and officials. At this time we also distribute rulebooks for all coaches. This services all nine high schools and our 45 different teams. We also hold 15 meetings a year with principals & athletic directors which serves all schools and the student athletes we serve.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the available information about grant readiness state registration leaves an important question unanswered.
