Athletic Eligibility

    Those students who participate in interscholastic activities represent their Savior in all that they do. Since Bethany Lutheran School strives to assist the students to make the best use of their God-given talents and abilities, a program of athletic eligibility has been established. The athletic eligibility has been divided into two areas: Academic and Conduct.

    Academic Eligibility: If a student acquires two D’s, one F, or does not function up to their level of ability in the classroom, the student becomes ineligible for interscholastic and intramural activities for a period of at least two weeks. This determination would be made at midterm and quarter marking periods. Special needs and abilities of the students will be taken into consideration.

    Conduct Eligibility: Any conduct not suitable for a Christian would make a student ineligible for interscholastic sports. Regular church attendance is part a Christian's life. Lack of regular church attendance can cause a student to become ineligible for participation in athletics. All disciplinary actions will be handled by the coaches, administration, and the Board of Education.
