ELIGIBILITY
Athletes must adhere to all regulations set forth in the CIF Blue Book and the Constitution of the Gold Coast Conference. The rules for eligibility are strict, especially in the area of transfer from one school to another and in the area of scholastic achievement. The Athletic Director and Dean of Studies will keep participants informed whenever there is a question of eligibility involved, especially with regard to grades. Athletes must maintain a 2.0 GPA for each grading period. If an athlete receives less than a 2.0 for the last grading period, he/she may petition to be placed on academic probation for the subsequent marking period. The athlete must have the approval of the Athletic Director, Vice Principal and the head coach of the sport effected to be placed on probation. Athletes on academic probation will work with the school staff to monitor progress and provide guidance and support. The athlete will not be able to practice or participate until he/she regains a at the next grading period. Two consecutive marking periods of less than a 2.0 GPA will result in ineligibility for the subsequent marking period, and will continue until a 2.0 GPA is achieved. During the four high school years, no student will be placed on academic probation more than one time after the initial first quarter probationary period for incoming freshman.
All individuals must pass an annual physical given by a doctor prior to participating or trying out for an athletic team. A fee for transportation/equipment will be charged to each Student Athlete. Participants in the football program are required to carry Archdiocesan insurance. Information and forms are available through the Athletic Director.
On game days, all student athletes must be in attendance for all class periods until dismissed. On practice days, student athletes must be in attendance for the last 4 classes to be able to partici- pate in practice. Exception to these rules must be cleared by the Athletic Director or Vice Principal and must be accompanied by a doctor's or official note. If an athlete misses a class because of an early departure for a game, it is the athlete's responsibility to ac- quire all work that will be missed. It is still due the next day. It is also the responsibility of the athlete to hand in any homework that is due the day of the early departure prior to leaving for the contest.
Any student transferring from another school must have a legiti- mate change of address for both parents to be eligible for a varsi- ty sport. If not, the student may use his/her SOP (if not used before) or will be restricted for one year.
