LSD Middle School Sports Eligibility
- Students must maintain a 2.00 and “C” in Citizenship to be eligible for conditioning, tryouts, and to remain on a sports team for the season.
- Dates for eligibility are determined annually as the season dates are subject to change at the Tri-District Sports League bi-annual meetings
- If a student‘s GPA drops below a 2.00, he/she will be given one week to raise their grades as shown in PowerSchool. Students may not participate in practices/games.
- If a student’s classroom or campus behavior becomes defiant, disruptive, disrespectful or problematic (but not suspendable), he/she will be given one week to improve their behavior as reported to admin by staff and the coach.
- If after one week there is neither sufficient academic nor behavioral improvement, the student will be placed on athletic probation and not allowed to participate during the second week.
- If there is not sufficient improvement after that second week, the student will be removed from the team.
- Parent contact/notification of the student’s situation is required during this process.
- Students placed in the In-School Intervention class during conditioning, tryouts or the season will not be allowed to participate with the team for 5 school days from the date of their infraction.
- If a student is suspended during conditioning, tryouts or during the sport season, he/she will become ineligible for the remainder that season and removed from the team.
- Administration has the right to make exceptions to keep students on the team or remove students from the team on a case by case basis.
- Students who transfer in from other schools prior to the season start will have eligibility determined on a case by case basis based on previous school records and current school academics/behavior.
- Once students are ineligible, they may not rejoin the team at a later date.
