Scott Gym And Gamble Gym Refurbishment

From all-school assemblies to CIF playoff games, the Scott (1990) and Gamble (1968) gymnasiums have been cornerstones of Poly community events for decades. And while nothing is more exciting than a packed house for a rivalry game or the annual Winter Sing, our gyms also get used every day for PE classes, practices and countless other school functions. 

 

Their utility reaches far beyond athletics alone. These gyms are where we host admissions events welcoming new students and where seniors gather together one last time before graduating. They’re where a fourth grader shows off their prized Lego collection at the Poly Pet and Hobby Show, where a junior aces their AP test, and where an eighth grader wins a debate.


The gyms have served Poly well, but they need to be updated.

With thanks to our generous lead donors, The Panther Club, and Poly, every $1 will have a 1:3 matching opportunity up to $50,000!


Already planned for this project:

  • Refurbishment work will occur this summer and fall with replacing and repainting the playing surfaces.

If we accomplish this challenge, Poly will be able to invest in additional gym enhancements this summer and fall which could include: 

  • Backboards with updated and powered mounting and winch hardware,
  • Wall padding behind all four competition baskets, 
  • Refinishing the bleachers in Scott Gym, 
  • New wall paint and stain, scoreboards, and/or lighting.

Please join a committed group of coaches, parents and alumni including:

Former Director of Athletics Tom Bradbury 

Coach Blythe Haaga Parker ‘01

Coach Brad Hall ‘73

Former Poly Coach Kim Weber Hall

Director of Athletics Scott Bello

Coach Katrina Damasco ‘02 

Rosalina and Frank Cardenas and many others!

Help us unlock the match, refurbish our gyms, and perfect our beloved home court advantage. Go Panthers!
