    Middle School Sports Update: 

    Middle school Fall sports are scheduled to begin on September 5, 2023. Tryouts will be held for football, volleyball, boys soccer, and girls track. Sixth grade will not be eligible for football but may try out in the other sports being offered. All students must have their information up to date in Final Forms, have a current sports physical, and attend the virtual parent meeting in order to be eligible to play. As we prepare for the start of team competition again, it is important that students and parents read the following eligibility requirements carefully.
     
    Academic Eligibility: 
    • A student must be in attendance 85% for the previous semester. (Cannot miss more than 13 days out of the 90-day semester)
      • This includes all absences (Excused and Unexcused)
    • Students may not fail more than 1 core class (Math, English, Science, Social Studies) or more than one Core class and one Elective Class.
    • CCS Rule: Students must have a 70% cumulative average for Semester One (August 2020-December 2020).
    • A student is ineligible to participate at the middle school level if he/she becomes 15 years of age on or before August 31.

    Sports Physical Requirements:

    • Students must have a sports physical completed on the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Sports Preparticipation Form, which can be found on the CCS website or by clicking the link.
    • Any physicals dated within the year of the entire playing season of your child's chosen sport are acceptable. If the physical date expires during the season, then a new physical must be completed in order to participate in the upcoming season(s) and stay in compliance. 

    Any additional information or specific questions about your child participating in the upcoming semester can be emailed to whitneyiglesias@ccs.k12.nc.us
