​​Athletic Eligibility

Any athlete who fails to maintain a C (75%) or higher in each academic subject may have his/her eligibility suspended for a period of time to be decided by the principal, teacher, and/or coach. Athletes are expected to maintain a B or higher in work habits and behavior in each academic subject. If an athlete’s work habits or behavior grade drops below a B, he/she may have his/her eligibility suspended for a period of time to be decided by the principal, teacher and/or coach. Each athlete’s performance in the classroom is ultimately evaluated by the principal and any athlete can be suspended at any time for not maintaining high academic and/or moral standards in the classroom.


Sign-ups and Team Selection

One week's notice will be given before sign-ups. Students will not be accepted after the specific deadline. Signing up does not guarantee acceptance on a team. Teams will be selected a few weeks prior to the season's opening. Teams will be in compliance with League standards.​

After team sign-ups, cutting from that team may be made when the number of players exceeds the number a coach can effectively supervise and transport (CYO Handbook).

It is our policy to accept a student with higher grades over one with lower ones, all things being equal, which includes athletic ability, attitude, behavior, cooperation and coachability.​
