ATHLETIC REQUIREMENTS
PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS
(Before the Physical Exam - Read)Every student athlete must pass a physical examination prior to any participation in athletics. Physical examinations will be administered FREE OF CHARGE. Fall date is September 23, 2009 @ 5:15 PM. A parent or legal guardian must accompany student athletes, as the M-DCPS physical forms must be notarized.
INSURANCE
Regardless of existing family insurance coverage, M-DCPS requires that all students participating in interscholastic athletic competition purchase school insurance. The two types available are general insurance and football insurance.
General Insurance: Students trying out for all sports must purchase regular school insurance. Any student playing both football and another sport must purchase BOTH types of insurance.
Football Insurance: Students participating in football must purchase special football insurance AND the general sport insurance. Separate football insurance protection must be purchased to participate in spring football.
BIRTH CERTIFICATES
All first time athletes and incoming 9th graders must present their original birth certificate to the Athletic Office as proof of age before they can be made eligible to compete. This is a requirement of the Florida High School Athletic Association. On the day of the free physicals, please bring this document with you. If you are NOT a US citizen and do not have your birth certificate, you may bring a passport or INS card. If you are an American citizen, we can only accept your ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE OR A CERTIFIED HOSPITAL RECORD. We cannot accept notarized duplicates, baptismal certificates, or a driver’s license as proof of age.
ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
An 8th grader, who is academically promoted, will be eligible during the first semester of their 9th grade year. Each semester lasts 18 weeks, (half the school year). After their first semester, ninth graders must maintain a minimum 2.0 grade point average (GPA), on a 4.0 scale in their coursework to remain eligible.
All other high school students must maintain a 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale in their coursework in order to be eligible to compete. The purpose of these standards is to improve the academic performance of students. The cumulative effect of the academic requirements makes it very important for an entering 9th grader to get off to a good academic start in high school.
