Middle School Athletic Eligibility
Middle school students who want to participate in MS sports—including Volleyball, Basketball, and Soccer—must meet all eligibility requirements. These requirements are outlined in the Academic Code of Conduct included in the Athletic Clearance Packet. Eligibility checks are conducted at the start of each season and at the midway point to ensure student-athletes remain eligible throughout the season.
Following these guidelines helps ensure our Falcons succeed both on the field and in the classroom.
