Those students participating in interscholastic athletic activities represent their Savior in all that they say and do. Since Bethany Lutheran School strives to assist the students in making the best use of their God-given talents and abilities, a program of athletic eligibility has been established. Special needs and abilities of the students will be taken into consideration:

       Academic Eligibility: The students are to use their God-given talents and abilities in the area of academics to the best of their ability. Students who acquire two D's or one F on a quarterly report card or midterm report or do not function up to their level of ability in the classroom become ineligible for interscholastic sports activities for a period of two weeks.

       Conduct Eligibility:

• Any conduct not suitable for a Christian would make a student ineligible for interscholastic sports.
  
• Regular church attendance is a part of a Christian's life. Lack of regular church attendance may cause a student to be ineligible for participation in athletics.
  
• Use of tobacco products, alcohol, or illegal drugs will make a student ineligible and may cause a suspension from interscholastic athletics.
  
• Use of foul language during practices or games will also result in removal from athletic activities.
  
• Any extreme aggressive behavior could result in removal from athletics.
  

All disciplinary actions will be handled by the coaches, administration, and the Board of Education.
