​​Sports Expectations

  1. Students must maintain a C– average (77.00 %) to participate in any sports program. Averages are computed prior to each individual sport’s season with the exception of soccer and volleyball. Eligibility for soccer and volleyball is based on the fourth quarter averages of the previous year for all returning students. During the season, players falling behind on school work will be dealt with on an individual basis.
  2. Athletes must come prepared for practice. That includes:
    1. being on time
    2. having proper equipment
    3. T-shirt and shorts or sweats
    4. athletic shoes
  3. Athletes must attend all scheduled practice sessions. The only exception is a valid excused absence, which will require a written note from the parent(s) explaining why the student will be (or was) missing from practice. Detentions are not considered a valid excuse.
  4. Uniform and proper athletic shoes are required to play in competition.
  5. During competition, only team members are permitted on the team benches. The team members not playing should be sitting with the coach or in one designated spot.
