Athletics

HHS Haybaler Athletics Office is located in Room 340 (Building S on Nash Road). Hours are 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Hollister High School offers 27 sports over three seasons (Fall, Winter and Spring), providing students the opportunity to compete against other local schools. Athletics is a great way for students to develop teamwork, leadership, discipline, and respect.

Welcome to Haybaler Athletics! Want to register an athlete?

Parents of incoming freshmen athletes will receive an email on June 1. Parents of returning athletes need to re-register their athletes through the Magnus Health Athlete Registration. Please email Becky Doty, the Student Activities & Athletics clerk at bdoty@sbhsd.k12.ca.us with any questions. Please review the eligibility requirements listed on Page 30 of our student handbook. Thank you!
