Eligibility

Athletic​ ​Eligibility​ ​Policy

We would like the students that represent Granger in competition to be well rounded student-athletes. With that being said, we do not allow any athlete to have an F in any subject during the season. Grades will be checked every Monday at 8:00am to determine eligibility. Any student-athlete with an F in any class will be placed on the ineligibility list for the entire week (even if the grade goes above an F during the week of ineligibility). It is very important for student-athletes to stay on top of their work and turn in their missing assignments in a timely manner to allow the teachers ample amount of time to enter grades.

Below are the steps for ineligibility

Step I-Warning Student-athletes will be placed on Step I the first week they have an F in any class. Step I is a warning week. Student-athletes may participate fully in practice and competitions. Student-athletes will meet with an administrator and will be advised on what class(es) are in the F range. They will have a week to raise their grade(s) above an F. Please​ ​note:​ Student-athletes will only receive one warning week during the entirety of the season. Any athlete that is on the ineligibility list and was previously ineligible at any point during the season will immediately be moved to Step II.

Step II-No competition Student-athletes that have a second week with an F in any class at any point during the season will be placed on Step II. Student-athletes may participate fully in practice but may not participate in any competitions while they are on Step II. Student-athletes will meet with an administrator and will be advised on what class(es) are in the F range.

Step III-No competition/No practice Student-athletes that have a third week with an F in any class after being on Step II the previous week will be placed on Step III (if they were not previously on Step II the week before, they will go to Step II and not Step III). While on Step III student-athletes will not be allowed to participate in practice and any competitions for the entire week. Student-athletes will meet with an administrator and will be advised on what class(es) are in the F range.

Step IV-Possible removal from the team Student-athletes that make it to Step IV may possibly be removed from the team. We want our student-athletes to know that academics are important. Since student-athletes at this step have had an F for at least four weeks during the season, removal from the team will allow the student the opportunity to focus all of their energy on their academics.
