Student Athletes
Ohio High School Athletic Association Standards
Grades 9-12: To be eligible under the standards of the association you must be scheduled for and pass no less than 5 credits per quarter. Fall eligibility is based on the previous 4th quarter grading period; winter eligibility is based on the 1st quarter grades and the 2nd quarter scheduled classes; spring eligibility is based on 3rd quarter grades. Summer school grades do not count toward eligibility. (Note that incoming freshmen participating in fall sports must pass 5 classes during the fourth quarter of their 8th grade year.)
Bedford City School Standards
1. To be eligible you must meet state standards and carry at least a 2.00 GPA. If you meet the state standards, but not the Bedford standard, you may still participate but you will be declared conditional. The conditional period will end at the midterm.
2. If you are on a conditional basis you will still be able to participate as if you were eligible, but you must go to study table, have tutoring on your schedule or get tutoring after school from a teacher you currently have for class.
3. You must achieve a 2.000 GPA or higher by the midterm to continue to participate. If you do not, you will no longer be on the team or in the activity for the remainder of that quarter.
4. If 3 hours of intervention is not completed, you will be removed from events until the quarter report card.
As students are scheduling, please keep in mind the following additional criteria for athletic eligibility:
• Freshmen must have passed five (5) classes in the fourth quarter of the eighth grade.
• Students in grades 9-12 must carry and pass five credits.
• Summer school coursework does not count toward 1st quarter eligibility. First quarter eligibility is strictly based on 4th quarter grades of the prior school year.
