AF Amistad High School Family Handbook 2017-2018 | 86 In addition, in order for a student to be eligible to sign for a sport, scholars must fulfill the following requirements: 1. AFAHS requires that all students submit a Sports Health Assessment before being permitted to take part in interscholastic sports. This means they may not participate in pre-season conditioning practices, try-outs, practices or contests without evidence of a valid sports physical form being on file with the Athletic Office. A sports assessment must be obtained for each school year. Student-Athletes must have all participation and medical forms completed, submitted, and approved by the director of athletics. Forms can be found at www.afamistadhs.org. 2. Scholar-Athletes must be passing at least 6 classes at the end of the marking period which closes either prior to the season and/or during the season. Progress reports & mid-term grades do not count as an official marking period. For fall sports, students must have passed at least 6 classes at the end of the previous school year. Where not contradicted by eligibility rules and regulations governed by the CIAC, a student that is classified as eligible for special education may be exempt from this regulation if the IEP contains a request for waiver of these requirements. 3. Scholar-Athletes must comply with all eligibility requirements set forth by the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference. You may go to www.ciacsports.com for specific details. 4. If they joined a team in either of the two previous seasons of sport, scholar-athletes must have finished that season with their team. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the athletic director on a case by case basis in the event of extenuating circumstances. Scholars will be removed from the team immediately if they don’t fulfill these requirements and will be marked absent for missed team functions.
