A.  Participating in Xenia School’s interscholastic athletics program is a privilege, not a right.

ROLE MODEL CODE OF CONDUCT (BOE 5500.01) The Role Model Code of Conduct governs all student participation in co-extra-curricular activities during the entire year (365 days) and is in effect at any time, whether or not participation in the activity is current, or in season, and any place, on or off school property. Violation of the Role Model Code of Conduct will result in the student being ineligible for ANY co-extra-curricular activity and subject to Section D “Consequences of Infractions to the Code.”

All students must have a current physical form (valid for 13 months), Insurance Waiver, OHSAA Eligibility, and HIPPA forms on file with the School Athletic Department.

A student enrolling in the 7th grade for the first time will be eligible for the first grading period regardless of previous academic achievement. Thereafter, in order to be eligible, a student in grade 7 or 8 must be currently enrolled and must have passing grades during that grading period in at least four (4) subjects.

In addition to the eligibility requirements established by the OHSAA, to be eligible for any interscholastic extracurricular activity, a student must have maintained at least a 1.5-grade point average (GPA) prior to the grading period in which the student wishes to participate.  Students who fail to meet this requirement but have at least a 1.0 GPA may use a one-time waiver at the middle school and the high school to participate in interscholastic athletics. 

All student-athletes, cheerleaders, managers, statisticians, trainers, and others governed by the Xenia Athletic Department shall abide by all rules and regulations pertaining to academic eligibility. They must also meet state eligibility rules and regulations before participating in any inter-school competition (scrimmage, regular or post-season games) as defined in the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) Handbook. Further information may be found on the Warner Middle School website, Athletics Tab.

Any questions concerning the OHSAA standards or athletic eligibility should be reviewed with the XHS principal or athletic director.

The eligibility requirements listed are only a summary of some of the regulations affecting student eligibility. A detailed requirements listing is published in the OHSAA Handbook, which can be found in the office of the athletic director and is posted on the OHSAA web site (www.ohsaa.org)

Please see XBOE Policy for full Interscholastic Extracurricular Eligibility.
