Note from CAA.

Good Afternoon,

I hope you are all doing well. We want to inform all of our members that our websites (azcaa.com/ azcaapreps.com) are currently undergoing a rebranding and rebuild process. These updates are part of our efforts to enhance the overall experience for all viewers.

To ensure a smooth transition and the best possible outcome, we have temporarily taken the websites offline. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time and look forward to sharing the improved site with you soon.

Thank you, 

CAA Executive Assistant

Attention Coaches!!!

Heritage Academy Mesa is always looking for top coaching talent. 

Please contact fred.mart@heritageacademyaz.com if you are interested in coaching for Heritage.

Some good reads recommended by our athletic staff:

1. “Coaching from the Sidelines”

2. Heritage Academy strongly encourages and recommends that all of our Athletes be Multi-Sport Athletes  https://changingthegameproject.com/the-race-to-nowhere-in-youth-sports/

Below are the forms that both scholars and parents need to review and fill out before participating in sports.

As a reminder, Heritage Academy has an academic eligibility requirement in order to compete. From our handbook: “Academic Eligibility to Compete: Scholar Athlete grades are checked at or before lunchtime every Monday during the sports season. Players must be passing with 70% or above in each of their individual classes to participate in the game/meet, or to practice after school, for that week. Eligibility, therefore, is determined on a week-to-week basis.”

Running is a lifelong sport!  Heritage offers both a Junior High and a High School XC team.
Cross Country is unique as a team sport as well as an individual sport. We start where you are and help you develop as a runner.  There is not an expectation of where you should be as a beginning runner.
The Junior High team is a great opportunity to learn more about cross country and enjoy the competition at a level that is ideal for younger runners.
In High School we take athletes in any grade that are interested in running, conditioning for another sport, or simply want to make friends in a diverse and inclusive sport.  As a team we are proud to have won many awards and had top runners each season.
Here is our Heritage Cross Country website.  Please come run with us!
