Athletic Eligibility determines whether or not a student is eligible to legally participate in an athletic team and sport. To reflect Kerman Unified School District’s desire that interscholastic athletics, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities supplement, and not detract from, the academic achievement of our students, each athletic program for students in grades 9-12 shall include the following academic standards:

Grade Point Average Requirement

All students must earn at least a 2.0 grade point average for the prior grading period in order to participate during the current grading period. A student who fails to achieve at least a 2.0 grade point average may be placed on probation for the current grading period provided the student complies with the school’s probationary period program. A student who does not achieve at least a 2.0 grade point average during the probationary period shall not be allowed to participate in extra-curricular or co-curricular activities in the subsequent grading period.

Students Ruled Ineligible:

• May practice with the team with approval by school administration and the coach;

• The student must attend the weekly study table;

• The student will not be released early from class for games, practices, events;

• Request from the student’s teachers a progress report every two weeks, and circulate the progress reports to the advisor or coach of each student club, extra- curricular or co-curricular program or activity in which the student is participating.
