ELIGIBILITY RULES

Eligibility requirements at TCHS are more stringent than the minimum required by the CIAC. Those participating in interscholastic athletics at TCHS must pass al least four subjects while not failing more than one. More than one failure for a quarter will render the student ineligible until the next report card is in hand or ten days from the close of the marking period, whichever comes first. Students ineligible may neither try out nor practice with the team.

Eligibility for the first marking period is determined by the student’s previous end of year grade report. More than one failure on that report for the entire year makes the student ineligible unless the course is retaken and passed in the summer.

** The above mentioned rules are the minimum and by no means inclusive. We reserve the right to add or modify these rules.
