SPBS Athletic Eligibility
The athlete at SPBS is a student athlete with academics being of greater importance. A student's behavior and academic performance is used to determine eligibility and will be checked by the administration periodically. A student becomes athletically ineligible if they receive a grade average below a “C+" in all subjects or a failing grade in any subject. If a student falls below the eligibility requirements in the middle of a grading term, they will have two weeks of probation to improve their academic standing with no consequences. If, at the end of those two weeks, a student's academics are still below eligibility standards, they will not be able to participate in practices or games until their academic standing has sufficiently improved. If a student's academic marks fall below eligibility standards on their report card, they will be ineligible to participate in athletics until the end of the next grading period determined by the administration. Athletic eligibility for the First Trimester is determined by the report card of the Third Trimester from the previous year.
Attendance at school is required for a student to participate in after school activities. The student must arrive at school before noon to participate in after school activities for that day. Exceptions to this may be approved by the administration.
Behavior
As stated before, students participating in athletics will conduct themselves first and foremost as Christian people. As athletes, they are ambassadors of the school, and their behavior is a direct reflection of Saint Paschal Baylon School. Students, at the discretion of the coach, athletic director, and/or the administration, may be benched or suspended from play due to inappropriate behavior or conduct, as well as other possible in-school consequences.
