3. Dear Parents: • Welcome to the 2012-13 Roseville Joint Union High School District Athletic Programs. We look forward to another great year of participation from our students. We fully expect to continue the traditions of competitive play, outstanding sportsmanship and personal growth for all students who participate in athletics at our schools. • In past years our athletic programs have flourished. Athletics allow a large number of our students to be positively connected to their high school experience and can open the door to potential college opportunities and lifelong enrichment. As you may know, the State's funding of public schools has been reduced significantly. Since the 2008-09 school year, RJUHSD has seen reductions in state funding exceeding $10 million. For the 2012-13 school year, the District faces continued budget challenges and uncertainties. In order to sustain our athletic programs across the District, we are requesting an Athletic Contribution from all students participating in athletics for the 2012-13 school year. The Athletic Contribution is voluntary, and your supportive donation will allow our athletic programs to continue as they have in the past. Without substantial ongoing support, we may be faced with making cuts to our athletic programs across the District. The District’s commitment to a full athletic program is evidenced by some of the costs it currently funds, including: • 56 District Paid Stipends (per school) - Total cost approximately $750,000 • Pools (5 pools/8 months) - Total cost approximately $200,000 • Athletic Equipment - Total cost approximately $112,000 • Athletic Transportation - Total cost approximately $62,500 • Helmet/Shoulder Pad Refurbish - Total cost approximately $32,500 • Coaches’ Training For Every Coach - Total cost approximately $8,600 • Athletics are very expensive, but we believe they offer an important opportunity, enriching our students’ lives and futures. We are committed to offering quality athletic programs for your sons and daughters, and hope you will share our commitment with an Athletic Contribution this upcoming year. It is our sincere hope and desire that this Athletic Contribution causes no hardship to your family. For this reason, the Athletic Department will accept any and all Athletic Contribution amounts. For further information, please contact your school's athletic director or the school administration who are always available to respond to your questions. To allow us to sustain the programs at each school throughout the District, the amount requested for the Athletic Contribution per athlete, per season for school year 2012-13 is: • First Sport $125 • Second Sport $100 • Third Sport $75 • Four (4) sport athletes or athletes who participate in two (2) sports during the same season will only be asked to make one (1) Athletic Contribution for participation in those two (2) sports in the same season. • We are grateful for your continued support, especially in these uncertain economic times. Our goal is to continue to offer a quality and comprehensive athletic program to our students that will add to their personal growth and a positive high school experience. • - Roseville Joint Union High School District Athletics

24. KIPI™ Preventative Program The KIPI™ Knee Injury Preventative Program is cutting edge and provides the newest concepts in exercise, body mechanics and corrective exercise. In the case of the non-contact ACL injury, many factors affect the predisposition of an athlete’s likelihood of occurrence. The staff at X2PI recognized these factors, and created a system to reduce injuries with proper evaluation, education, and biomechanical implementation which gave rise to the KIPI™ program. Has your athlete or school been KIPI™ Certified?EVALUATION-Most athletes are unaware of potential motor pattern risk factors that can put them at risk for injury when sprinting into a cut or landing from a jump. During our unique KIPI™ Movement Efficiency Evaluation process, the athletes will be put through a variety of movement tests where movement analysis will be instituted.EDUCATION- At the conclusion of our educational process, our athletes understand and demonstrate how to move correctly, decelerate correctly, and land properly from jumping movements. It is the X2PI™ educational process that is critical to injury prevention. If an athlete recognizes the proper way to execute these athletic movements, it will greatly reduce the risk for injury.IMPLEMENTATION-Now that the athletes are educated on how to perform these movements correctly, our specialized Awareness Training Session is implemented to reinforce correct movement patters, stabilize the surrounding muscles around the knee, and activate proper muscular balance. This is a great hands on learning experience for athlete as they will learn amongst their peers.
