ECASD | Athletic Code

We believe that all students have the right to participate in athletics regardless of their experience and ability level.
South athletics is a “no cut” program and our coaches are expected to play everyone as equally as possible.
Playing time could be adjusted if there are issues regarding attendance, attitude, effort, and cooperation.

Academic Eligibility

Academic eligibility is determined by the previous quarter grades. Quarter 1 eligibility for 8th graders is based on the grades received Quarter 4 of the last school year. 7th graders start with a “clean slate”. Students who receive one or more failing quarter grades will be placed on academic probation.
An athlete who received one or more quarter F’s may regain eligibility if he or she is passing all classes after the first contest has been played.
Students scholastically ineligible will be expected to practice during the suspension period. If, after one contest, the athlete is not eligible for competition, he/she will remain ineligible to compete in further competitions unless passing grades are obtained prior to subsequent contests for the remainder of the quarter.
grades will be checked prior to each competition throughout the quarter; if passing grades are attained, the athlete may compete.
