Interscholastic Sports – Grades 7 and 8
Our interscholastic sports program offers students who have the ability and desire the opportunity to represent North in organized league competition. Interscholastic sports for seventh and eighth grade boys include soccer, football, basketball, wrestling, and track. Girls may compete against area schools in field hockey, soccer, basketball, softball, lacrosse, and track.
Students interested in participating in a sport should receive a physical examination or recertification not more than six weeks prior to the scheduled start of the sports season. Fall sport physical exams are valid after June 1. Proof of insurance must also be submitted prior to participation. No students will be permitted to participate unless all paperwork is accurate and complete. Please call the Assistant Principal if you need further information.
It is important that all student athletes realize that academics are their number one priority. Those students who have a cumulative “E” in two subjects at any given time will be declared ineligible according to PIAA standards. Once declared ineligible, a student cannot participate in practice or games for a minimum of one week.
To be eligible for participation in a practice or game on a given school day, the student-athlete must be in school by noon and stay for the remainder of day. Exceptions to this rule include funerals, family emergencies, and doctor appointments. Written proof of any of the above exceptions must be submitted to the Assistant Principal before the student-athlete may participate on that day.
