Students who participate on a sports team for their zoned high school campus must provide their own transportation to that school. Students must complete a Sports Packet and a South CTA Sports Participation Form for each season (fall, winter, spring) that they will be playing sports. Only athletes, not cheerleaders, are allowed to be released early for extensive travel time games during the sports season in which they are playing if the specific coach notifies the South CTA Activities Office prior to the day of the event. Students are not released early during intramurals, for practice sessions, or for pep assemblies. Prospective student athletes who wish to play college sports as freshmen in Division I and II schools must consult their zoned school coach for eligibility requirements. South CTA does not offer academic courses for high school credit that will qualify students for NCAA consideration. Athletes in CCSD must maintain passing grades in all subjects for week-to-week eligibility. A student athlete’s eligibility is checked by the Athletics/Activities Office every three (3) weeks during the season and provided to the zoned school’s athletic office. Students receiving a failing grade will be placed on probation for one (1) week and checked on Friday of that probationary week. If a student still has a failing grade, the student will be declared ineligible for the following week.
