Eligibility for Participation · The Athletic Director will check the eligibility of every student athlete on a regular basis. The head coaches will also communicate with students and parents regarding eligibility, rules and regulations. Parents/guardians and student athletes are responsible for following all rules and regulations set forth by the KHSAA, Marshall County Board of Education, and any team rules set forth by coaching staffs. This includes but is not limited to proper care of issued equipment and behavior expectations. · In order to be eligible to participate in a KHSAA sanctioned sport, a student athlete must be passing 2/3 of his/her classes which is equivalent to 6 out of 8 classes. ·If a student’s GPA in a 9-week grading period is below 2.0, the student will be placed on academic probation for one grading period. He/she may participate in extra-curricular activities during this time. Students are encouraged to attend Extended School Services while on probation for the subject(s) in which they are having trouble. · If the GPA does not meet or exceed the required 2.0 GPA at the end of the next grading period, the student is declared ineligible for the following 9-week grading period. · Students who are failing 3 or more classes will immediately be declared ineligible regardless of their GPA. There is no probationary period for these students. · Any student who accumulates a total of 9 unexcused absences for the school year will be banned from attending any field trips, club trips or from participating in any extracurricular school event. The student will lose his/her eligibility for one calendar year from the date of the ninth unexcused absence.
Sports Physical Any student that plans to participate in school-sponsored sports must have a sports physical. A physician must complete these physicals. (According to KHSAA regulations, ARNP, PA or health department physicals are not acceptable.) Sports physicals are offered free of charge to athletes during the summer months. Notices will be given at school as to the dates of the physicals. If you do not wish to receive the physical at school, the physical will need to be obtained at your own expense. Sports physicals are valid for a period of one year (12 months). Another physical must be obtained to participate in sports once a physical has expired.
Transfer Student Athletes All student athletes transferring to MCHS have to meet with the Athletic Director to determine eligibility. This meeting will take place AFTER the school enrollment process has been completed.
