3RD REQUIREMENT - GRADE CHECK

• Grades will be checked at tryouts and throughout the season.  Students must be participating in their classes and cannot have a D or an F in any class.  If a student has a D or an F in any class, they cannot try out.

• Please be advised that an announcement will be made prior to tryouts regarding which grading period will be used for the initial grade check to be able to try out.  This decision will be based on when the season will eventually begin.  For example, we may be checking your report card for your 2nd quarter grades.

• Once a player is on the team, they will be required to keep their grades up and will not be allowed to practice or participate in matches if they have a D or an F in any class.  If a student is not able to raise their grades after a two-week period of time, they will be removed from the team.
