CIF Central Coast Section athletics travel
San Jose high schools compete in the CIF Central Coast Section — Blossom Valley Athletic League, Santa Teresa and Mt. Hamilton divisions, plus the West Catholic Athletic League for the independent schools — which means regular travel to Gilroy, Salinas, the Peninsula and San Francisco during league play.
SPAB athletics trips in San Jose are quoted at $125–$250 per hour depending on vehicle and trip length, and season-long league schedules can be blocked in advance so the athletic department books once.
San Jose SPAB questions
Can you cover a Central Coast Section playoff game on short notice?
Usually yes. CCS brackets often set the site with only a few days' notice, so we hold reserve SPAB units and on-call SPAB-certified drivers through the fall and winter playoff windows.
Do you carry football and band equipment from San Jose campuses?
Yes — our 37- and 56-passenger SPAB units have under-floor bays for pads, gear bags, uniforms and instruments. Tell us the load at booking so we assign the right bay capacity.
Which San Jose campuses need a smaller bus?
Several older East Side Union and San José Unified campuses have tight interior loops; where a 45-foot coach can't turn we send a 23- or 37-passenger SPAB shuttle or set the load on the adjacent street with the school's approval.
Do you handle multi-bus movements for a whole grade level?
Yes. Grade-level field trips out of San Jose commonly run 3–8 buses; we assign a lead driver and stage a convoy departure so the group arrives together.
