All student athletes must have an updated physical on file before beginning practice.
A reminder that any current EMS student planning on playing a FALL sport must meet the academic requirements below to be athletically eligible to play a Fall Sport at EMS!
MIDDLE SCHOOL ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY
To be athletically eligible, students must not fail more than one course each nine weeks.
 Â
Eligibility for:
-
Football, Volleyball, & Cross-Country will be declared based upon the 4th nine weeks’ grades the previous year. (Exception: ALL sixth grade students will be eligible.)
-
Fall Cheerleading will be declared based upon 4th nine weeks’ grades the previous year. (Exception: ALL new sixth grade students will be eligible.)

All student athletes will be required to sign an athletics code of conduct prior to participation in any Eastbrook Athletics.Â
Athletes and managers not meeting eligibility requirements are not to practice or play in any interscholastic events. The eligibility day will be the Wednesday following the end of the grading period. Athletes ejected from sporting events for unsportsmanlike conduct will be suspended from the next game. Activities that violate rules stated in this handbook will be dealt with as outlined in this handbook.Â
Please refer to the EMS Handbook policy listed above related to athletic eligibility for students here at EMS. I encourage you to show this to your student if they are struggling to keep their grades where they need to be at and are motivated and expecting to participate in a winter sport. All students must meet the expectations above to be athletically eligible.Â
