ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION
ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION
Athletic participation at PHMS is available to any 7th or 8th grade student. Any student participating in athletics must have a completed athletic participation packet on record in the school office before they will be permitted to practice or compete in any middle school athletics. The packet may be picked up in the school office or completed online. In addition, any 7th or 8th grade student who wishes to participate in middle school athletics must also have an athletic physical on record at PHMS. These forms can be downloaded from the district website or be picked up in the office. Middle school students are only required to complete one physical for their entire middle school career. However, any 7th or 8th grade student who is approved for petitioning up for a high school sport must have an athletic physical on record at the high school. Any student participating in high school athletics must have a new physical on an annual basis.

Athletics Tardy Policy
Due to the amount of students being late for class, we will start to implement a new policy for those students in athletics. It is the hope of the Patrick Henry Athletics Staff that this will reinforce the importance of getting to class on time for our students. You may wonder why the reason the number of tardies is different for multiple sports. This is because of the number of events we have scheduled is different for each sport. Please know, that this policy does not go into effect until practices for each season begins.
Basketball:
For every 10 tardies, a student will miss 1 quarter.
Wrestling:
For every 15 tardies, a student will miss 1 match.
Track & Field:
For every 15 tardies, a student will not be allowed in 4 events. The max they will be able to participate in is 3.
Soccer:
For every 20 tardies, a student will miss 10 minutes of a match.
Performance Dance:
For every 20 tardies, a student will miss one halftime performance.
