Badminton CCS is planned to be on May 14th, which is in direct conflict with many senior prom dates. Schools affected include: (but are not limited to) Palo Alto High School, Cupertino High School, Lynbrook High School, and dozens of other schools in both upper and lower divisions. Due to COVID-19, proms of 2020 and 2021 have been canceled or heavily modified. Thus, most upperclassmen have not gotten to go to prom, and being a badminton player could mean that we never will. We are requesting that the date for CCS would be reconsidered to either 5/15 or 5/21, or a different date can be discussed with the appropriate organizers.

What is CCS: The California Central Coast Section Playoffs is a tournament hosted for each high school sport. For badminton, each school within the designated section (Central Coast for us) is allowed to send their best players from each event (boys & girls singles, boys & girls doubles, and mixed) to compete in a tournament for school recognition. Winning this tournament is the biggest honor an athlete can have within high school sports.
