This form is valid for two years from the date of the exam and covers participation for all sports within that time period.

Considerations 

• • Student Eligibility - To participate in any of these activities students are required to maintain a 2.0 marking period grade point average, with no more than one failing grade in the previous marking period. Students must also exhibit the appropriate behavior expected of a student-athlete on a daily basis at RCMS during the designated time period of the scheduled sport season or activity and beyond.  If these requirements are not met, the student is academically ineligible to participate on any of the athletic sports teams and/or in any of the intramural sports and extracurricular activities. Eligibility during the season is up to coaches discretion based on current grades and student behavior.

  • Practices - Generally are held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and/or Thursday from 3:10-5:15pm (end of practice is at Coaches discretion).  See Calendar on the Athletics Home page for Practice Schedule.

  • Games - See below for the Game Schedule listing.  Student generally return from away game by 5:30pm.
