Use of Equipment
Any equipment donated by an outside (non school related) group, must be accepted by the Board of Education before the equipment is used by students and staff.
The Athletic Code of Conduct contains a section entitled “Participation Rules and Qualifications”. This section of the code states that a student who is absent or tardy because of personal illness during the afternoon session of a school day may not practice or participate in any games scheduled for that day or night. In order to achieve consistency between the junior and senior high schools on what constitutes the afternoon session, we will establish 9:15 a.m. as the time by which a student-athlete must be in attendance in order to participate in practice or athletic contest scheduled for that day or night. This time coincides with the end of lunch at the high school and the end of 9th grade lunch at the junior high.
Additional information may be found in the Coaches Handbook.
NCAA Eligibility Requirements
The National Collegiate Athletic Association is an organization dedicated to providing a pathway to opportunity for college athletes. Over 1,000 colleges and universities are members of the NCAA. Those schools work together with the NCAA national office and athletics conferences across the country to support more than 500,000 college athletes that make up over 20,000 teams competing in NCAA sports.
NCAA eligibility is based on a student-athlete’s academic readiness and amateur status. If you’re thinking about playing college sports, it’s crucial to know what this means – and it’s best to start learning now.
