The following policy refers to the academic eligibility of students participating in athletics.

The policy is:

• A student must pass in subjects that equal 5 or more credits per year toward graduation in order to be eligible to participate during that grading period.

• A student must maintain a percentage grade of 75% during the grading period and receive no more than 1 “F” in order to be eligible to participate during the next grading period.

Any student who does not meet this minimum requirement will be ineligible to practice for or participate in any interscholastic athletic event during the next grading period.

Medical Examinations

A medical examination is a prerequisite for participation in athletics. It is necessary to protect the school as well as the student from unpleasant possibilities. The examination is additional proof of parent/guardian approval for participation and a safety precaution against an unknown or private condition which may harm the student.

A current Ohio High School Athletic Association Medical and Parent/Guardian consent form is required for each interscholastic team member before he/she may participate in conditioning, practices, or an interscholastic contest. Each coach is responsible for seeing that this regulation is carried out. Physical forms are to be checked carefully by the coach for signature of doctor, parent/guardian, and athlete and then presented to the Athletic Director for filing in a safe place.
