4) Academic Eligibility (for more on this, please scroll over the General Info tab to see the drop down for Academic Eligibility)

• Your eligibility is determined by your grades from the last grading period (i.e. quarter or semester, whichever was the most recent one)

• Grades that are posted on online gradebooks are unofficial grades and cannot be used for determining eligibility. 

• To remain academically eligible for athletics, you need a 2.0 GPA or better with NO F's or Incomplete grades. 

5) Important Notes

• The athletic department kindly asks for an $80 donation for each sport that a student participates in. This helps defray the expenses that go unseen like officials fees, league, section, and state membership dues, and other miscellany that we don't ask each individual program pay for (i.e. sanitizing and cleaning products, supplies for the trainer, etc). These donations are tax deductible, but non-refundable.

  • You can make online donations at the American HS Eagle Outfitters website. You will need to log in, select Donations, then select Athletic Program Donation.

  • If you choose to write a check, you can make them out to "American High School Athletics". Please make sure your student's name is in the memo line along with the sport they try out for

• Students will only be allowed to try out for ONE sport per season, so please do not register for more than one as none of the registrations will be approved. 

• Tryout check in times for each season will be developed with the coaches and posted on the Athletics website by the Friday prior to the first official day. Please make sure you check that spreadsheet. For more sport specific detail, please contact the coach of that sport. 

• Practice times will be determined by the coach and communicated to team members.

• If you are an athlete currently in season, you must finish your current sport's season before trying out for the next season's sport. Contact the coach of the next season you wish to try out for and let them know when your season will end so that a tryout can be arranged on the first day after the completion of your current season.
