2023-2024 Sports Eligibility Requirements

Academic & Age Requirements:

Academic: Students trying out for interscholastic athletic teams must be academically in good standing in order to be eligible. For the first semester, a student must have been promoted to the next grade level. For the second semester, a student must also have passed all but one subjects at the conclusion of the previous semester completed in order to be able to participate in school sponsored athletics in the current semester.

Physical Examination Requirement:

All student athletes' VHSL 2022-2023 physicals expire on June 30, 2023. Therefore, in order to participate in any athletic activities including Patriot Pride, school-sponsored camps, open gyms, or any other school-related sports July 1, 2023 and after, a student-athlete must obtain a new VHSL physical and submit it to the athletic director.

Managers: Any student who wants to be a manager must be approved by the coach and submit all parts of the VHSL physical form EXCEPT the doctor examination page.

Information about low cost, no appointment VHSL physicals (updated summer, 2017). Call the clinic before you go to confirm pricing.

All locations require the child be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian with valid photo ID. Cash only and be sure to bring eyeglasses or wear contacts for the eye exam. They also need to know the date of their last tetanus shot. The school has this on file.

Policy Meeting Requirement:

As Fall sports are gearing up to begin, our annual Athletic Policy requirement to participate is upon us.  Any student who intends to participate in at least one sport for the 2023-2024 athletic year must complete this VIRTUAL policy meeting just ONE TIME.  Student-Athletes will access Google Classroom through their 1770 accounts and use their current password for that account.  PARENTS ARE NOT ABLE TO DO THIS THROUGH THEIR PERSONAL EMAIL.  IT MUST BE COMPLETED THROUGH THE CHILD'S 1770 EMAIL.  

All athletes and parents will be required to complete the parent athlete policy meeting virtually this year. To access the video and pledge form please join the CAMS Athletic Policies Google Classroom with the code saikdyj; all lowercase.  Please access this through your child’s 1770 email address.  A parent and student athlete will need to complete the Edpuzzle Athletic Policies video assignment. After watching the video, parents and students will have access to the pledge form , via a link that will populate AFTER the video has ended, which will need to be submitted before participating in athletics.  Please allow up to 24 hours for access to the Athletic Policy video assignment once you join the Google Classroom.
