The Athletic/Activity Code is in effect from the first allowable WIAA fall turnout date through the Spring State Tournament or end-of-the-year awards banquet, whichever is later, and includes enforcement during school-sponsored summer camps.

Student-athletes need to be at school to practice or play. No unexcused absences are permissible. Excused absences greater than 1⁄2 a day must be pre-approved through the Athletic Department. Coaches/Advisors will excuse team-related absences from school as a School Activity. Knowing that our athletes need to eat on game days, the following protocol will be used when buses depart during the lunch hours: Kids could have lunch anywhere from 10:40 to 1:20. If a team departure is at 12:50 PM or earlier, Coaches will give the teams 30 minutes to get their gear and grab lunch. For example, the bus departs at 12:30; Coaches will release student-athletes at noon, no matter their lunchtime.

To be an eligible student/athlete, a student must be a full-time student, meaning they are enrolled and actively going to 7 classes (credits) if Freshman through Junior and maintain at least a 2.0 GPA*; (If a Senior, six classes (credits) and on track to graduate). Please see the Athletic Department if you are not on-campus full-time, whether for Running Start, CBTech, Digital online, or Alternative Education options for a WIAA Contract to ensure you are a full-time student.

*Some coaches may have additional team requirements.

ANY CHANGE to the student/athlete schedule must be cleared through the athletic department to maintain eligibility.

WIAA requires us to check student/athlete scholarships in two ways:

Student-athletes must pass the minimum number of classes the previous semester of competing or have an ineligibility suspension period.

Pass the minimum number of classes and maintain their GPA on our periodic check (every 4 1⁄2 weeks) during the season. This is a weekly suspension of games until they raise their scholarship.

All official game schedules are posted on both Arbiter Live and Big 9 Athletics electronically to all who subscribe (which is free). Click on the orange SUBSCRIBE button on the site. Please be aware that schedules change frequently for various reasons, and only subscribers are guaranteed notification of the change. Also, be aware, there are only 3 seasons for high school sports, and each season does practice/play when school is not in session, for example, fall sports start before school does, winter sports go over Thanksgiving and Winter break and Spring sports go over Spring break.

Should an athlete require medical treatment/evaluation for an injury, they will need a note from the doctor clearing them to return to play. Each athlete will be baseline tested with the ImPACT Concussion program. Should an athlete be suspected to have received a concussion, a Certified Athletic Trainer will evaluate them before they are allowed to return to participation. The return-to-play protocol may involve a progressive approach depending on the severity of the injury, which our ATCs will monitor.

Your athlete must pay their ASB fee to participate in a sport. Free & Reduced lunch qualifies for a reduced ASB fee but is not waived. ($50/$35)
