General Information
Athletic Events
School personnel supervise athletic events. School rules apply to the athletic events, and students are expected to behave appropriately and obey the supervisors or they will not be allowed to attend after school athletic events.
Athletic Eligibility
Academics
In grades 6-8, the student must pass at least one less course than the number of required core courses each semester and meet Chatham County School's promotion standards. Students must pass 3 of 4 academic courses and two of these courses have to be English and Math.
If an athlete is “academically eligible” at the beginning of any semester, that status is retained throughout the full semester. The school principal will check the academic status of each student/athlete enrolled in school at the beginning and close of a semester.
NOTE: An athlete becomes eligible or ineligible on the first day of the new semester.
Age
The principal must have evidence of the legal birth date of the student. A student shall not participate on a seventh or eighth grade team if the student becomes 15 years of age on or before October 16 of that school year.
Attendance
A player must be in attendance at least 85% of the previous semester.
Medical Form
The student must receive a medical examination each year (365 days) by a duly licensed physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant, subject to the provisions of G.S.90-9, 90-18.1, and 90-18.2.
Promotion
Each year the athlete must be promoted from the previous grade.
Residence
The student must meet the residence criteria of G.S. 115C-366(a). The student may participate only at the school to which the student is assigned by Chatham County Schools. A student who transfers from another administrative unit to Chatham County Schools and was eligible for athletic participation in the previous district is immediately eligible for athletic participation in the receiving unit.
