The Athletic Cougar Expectations
Eligibility
Students qualify to play on after school athletic teams by earning at least a 2.0 GPA with no F's during the trimester prior to the athletic season. Students will remain on the team by maintaining a 2.0 GPA and not being placed on Exclusion during the trimester/ season of play.
Students with one "F", or less than a 2.0 GPA, may be put on an academic probationary status. At the deficiency period the Coach, Athletic Director and/or administrator will review the grades of all students on this probationary status and will have the authority to remove the student from the team at their discretion.
Any student placed on the exclusion list may be ineligible to participate for the remainder of that season.
Students usually practice Monday - Thursday from 3:00-4:30 with athletic contests during the week. Practice schedules will be determined by the athletic director and coach.
Honor the Game
All athletes will honor the game, respect their opponents and game officials. Student-athletes must be a trustworthy, respectful, responsible, fair, caring, and an upstanding citizen. We ask that all spectators do the same.
