To play any sport at Canyon you must:
Step 1) Create an Account on Sports Net in order to get Athletic Clearance
**See the directions below**
**All students must be cleared through Sports Net before being able to tryout for any sport at Canyon.**
THE ONLY WAY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TRYOUT PROCESS IS TO HAVE A CLEARED ATHLETIC PACKET COMPLETE PRIOR TO THE THE FIRST TRYOUT DATE.
Student-Athlete Rules and Guidelines for Athletics.
As an athlete I am expected to abide by the following guidelines:
1. To apply myself to my studies and maintain to the best of my ability satisfactory grades minimum GPA of
2.0 with no more than 1 F, as per District policy and to be enrolled in a minimum of five classes (20 semester
units).
SACMAL League Rules
Academic/Scholastic eligibility is a 2.0 grade point average, and no more than one “F” grade. A student shall not participate in any athletic event if he/she has not met the above requirement. The student who does not meet this requirement is scholastically ineligible. Eligibility is determined from grade after each official grading period (Quarter, Semester) and not weekly progress reports, or progress reports . For playing contests, one grading period does not end until the next one begins.
Non “TRYOUT” Team deadlines will be announced in the Daily Bulletin.
A rubric is used to evaluate athletes during the tryout process with a rating in 5 categories: Technical Skills Tactical Abilities, Physical Abilities, Sportsmanship, and Competitiveness.
After tryouts are over, all participating athletes will receive an email indicating if they have made the team. Once your athlete makes a Canyon team, we request an athletic contribution of $100 per athlete, per sport played, due at the time of the email or before the first team practice. Families can make this donation online at our Canyon Webstore or by check made out to Canyon Middle School. If you’re able, additional monetary or volunteer time donations to support Canyon’s Athletic Boosters program are always welcome.
Athletic contributions do not determine eligibility to try out for sports at Canyon; all students are welcome. You can also join the boosters for $25.00, or become s Booster Sponsor with a $100, $200 or $300 donation(these do not take the place of individual athletic contribution).
