ELIGIBILITY—THE OHIO HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

The Explorers are members of the O.H.S.A.A. and of the Suburban League National Division. We offer a wide range of
sports (26) and teams (56) at various levels. We have 13 sports for boys and 14 sports for girls. Check the list for
seasonal offerings.

1. To be eligible, a student in grades 9 through 12 must be currently enrolled and must have received passing grades
during the preceding grading period in subjects that earn a minimum of 5 credits per year toward graduation.
(See Scholastic Eligibility.)

2. Athletes must have a Physical Exam—Parent Permission O.H.S.A.A. card completed and on file in the athletic office
before the first practice.

3. A student who becomes 19 before September 1 shall be ineligible from that date forward. Students are eligible
for a maximum of eight semesters after beginning the ninth grade, whether or not they participate.

4. Nine-week grading period grades will determine eligibility. Eligibility or ineligibility is in effect for an entire nine-
week grading period. Semester grades do not determine eligibility. Summer School grades do not count.

SCHOLASTIC ELIGIBILITY

A. Eligibility for each grading period is determined by grades received during the preceding grading period. Semester
and yearly grades have no effect on eligibility. To be eligible, students must be passing (D- or higher) five (5) one-
credit classes (Physical Education classes are NOT full-credit classes—don’t count them) AND have a GPA of 1.2.
Students who have a GPA of 1.2 through 2.0, or who have an “F” in any classes, are required to attend two study
tables per week to maintain eligibility.

B. Student athletes must carry five (5) credits to participate. Remember this requirement before dropping any
classes.

C. Incoming freshmen must be currently enrolled and must have been enrolled in school the immediately preceding
grading period and received passing grades during that grading period in a minimum of five of those subjects in
which the student receives grades.

D. For further information, an O.H.S.A.A. Athletic Eligibility Bulletin can be picked up in the Athletic Office.
