The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) functions as the governing body for interscholastic athletics among California high schools, enabling member institutions to adopt shared rules and establish minimum standards for various aspects of the athletic program for grades 9 through 12. Its mandate includes guiding schools and districts in fulfilling responsibilities related to student health, safety, general welfare, and educational opportunities for participants in interscholastic athletics. Based in Sacramento, California, CIF operates within the spectator sports landscape as the regional authority overseeing high school competition. Its customers are member high schools and school districts across California that participate in interscholastic athletics. A recent development noted in March 2026 is the approval of e3 Civic High to join CIF, expanding its membership network.
