California Sports Law is a focused practice within Wingert, Grebing, Brubaker & Walshok LLP, a San Diego–based litigation firm with decades of experience representing individuals, schools, and organizations across California. We represent athletes, families, coaches, and institutions in matters involving athletic eligibility, CIF appeals, NCAA compliance, NIL contracts, and disciplinary investigations.
Sports law isn’t about loopholes — it’s about fairness, preparation, and credibility. Every case, whether it involves a CIF hardship waiver or an NCAA waiver request, demands the same level of discipline and detail as any courtroom proceeding. We analyze every fact, rule, and procedural step to help clients achieve fair outcomes while preserving their integrity and eligibility.

High School Athletes and Families — CIF eligibility and transfer appeals, hardship waivers, and disciplinary matters.
College Athletes — NCAA and NAIA reinstatement, waiver petitions, and compliance support.

NIL and Amateurism Clients — Advising on name, image, and likeness opportunities while maintaining eligibility.
