Athletic Eligibility
To participate in any athletics at Hamilton Local Schools, you must be academically eligible. This means at the HS, you must be taking and PASSING 5 Full Credit Classes (Phys. Ed., Weight Training & Team Sports DO NOT COUNT). Middle School students need to be passing 4 Classes (all MS classes count).
Make sure you are scheduling the appropriate number of classes so you can remain eligible.
Fall Athletes - The previous school year's 4th quarter grading period is what counts for eligibility.
Winter Athletes - The 1st quarter grading period is what counts for eligibility. However, eligibility will be reviewed at the end of the 2nd grading period to determine eligibility for the remainder of the season.
Spring Athletes - The 3rd quarter grading period is what counts for eligibility. NOTE: Some spring sports hold tryouts prior to the grading period ending. If you make a team and become academically ineligible, you will not be able to participate.
Please talk with your coaches, your counselors and if necessary, see the Athletic Director for any questions regarding eligibility.
