Player Participation
Athlete Participation
The Program exists as an extension of St. Charles School and, as such, is under the direction of the School Principal and Parish Pastor. All participants in the Program are expected to follow the rules as set forth in the St. Charles Athletics Handbook.
Participation in sports is a significant part of a child’s developmental process, however, academic achievement, school conduct, and study habits take precedence. Students must maintain an overall academic grade level of a “C” or better and maintain a “2” or better in conduct. The St. Charles Athletics Board (Board) and its volunteers support a parent’s decision to withdraw their child from the program for academic reasons. If a parent advises the Board that a student cannot continue his/her commitment to the Program in order to concentrate on academics and the student is not participating in other extra-curricular activities (i.e. soccer, karate, swimming, etc.), the Board may allow the student to participate in the next sport.
