Athletic Eligibility
NCHSAA regulations require that students in grades 6-8 must pass one less course than the number of required core courses each semester and meet promotion standards established by Davie County Schools. Simply stated, three out of four core classes. Coach expectations will be made clear at the beginning of each sport season.
● A student must pass at his/her performance ability level of the following: language arts, math,
science, social studies, and physical education.
● The student must also be in attendance 85% of the previous semester (can miss up to 13
days). The Athletic Director will work with the Data Manager to collect this information on a
regular basis.
● A student will be eligible to play sports for 6 consecutive semesters beginning with the sixth grade. A seventh grader who is retained will complete eligibility the second year in seventh grade. An 8th grader who is retained is no longer eligible to play sports.
