Archbishop Neale School

Students in appropriate grades who are eligible are encouraged to participate in extracurricular sports. Because our philosophy encompasses the education of the whole child, we do not diminish the importance of academics. Therefore, students are ineligible to tryout or participate in sports if:

• a student receives two deficiencies indicating a “D” or one deficiency indicating an “F” during the marking period. In this case, the student is ineligible until report cards are issued.
• the same criteria applies to report card grades with the additional requirement of “S” or better in all Specials classes. In addition, students must maintain an overall GPA of 2.0 or better.
• a student receives more than one detention in a marking period or receives one suspension in a marking period.

By Maryland State standard, in order to try out for any sport, all athletes are required to have a current sports physical on file in the school. To be considered current, the student must have a sport physical dated after May 1 of each school year
