ELIGIBILITY

• An athlete must have both a physical and a signed permission form on file in the school office to participate in sports each school year.

• A non-refundable participation fee is charged for each sport.  Currently, the fee is $175 per sport. The Cross Country athletic fee is $125. 

• Students in grades 6, 7, or 8 are eligible to participate in sports. If a team can’t be created due to the lack of players, fifth grade students may be asked to participate.

• A student may participate in only one sport per season unless arrangements are made between coaches.

• An athlete is chosen to be a member of a team solely on the basis of his/her ability demonstrated during tryouts.

• Playing time is earned.  There is no minimum playing time.  The TCSAC is a competitive league.

• The principal has the discretion to remove or suspend any athlete from a team due to academic/behavior problems. A conference will be held with the athlete’s parents before any action is taken.  The principal will check the grades on a weekly basis.  If a student has a "D" or "F" or "U" in any class, that student will receive a warning and the parents will be notified.  If the grade does not improve, the student will be suspended for three weeks (practice and games).

• If a player is absent from school or attends school for less than 3.5 hours, he/she is not allowed to participate in a scheduled practice or game on the day on which he/she is absent.

• An athletic candidate must support their Saint Mary Magdalene Team above all other teams and non-school-related activities. Any member of a StMM sports team who misses a practice or game to attend another team’s practice or game will be suspended for one game. If a second game is missed, the player will be removed from the team. Coaches may override this policy only after consulting with the principal.

Athletes must have a physical / permission form on file every SCHOOL YEAR.
