What do I need to participate on a team? 

In order to try out for any sports team at MSJ, you need to have had a physical examination within the last year, Physicals are only good for one year. Give a copy to the coach. The coach will also require you fill out an athletic emergency card. All others forms which you need to complete will be handed out during the first week of practice.

How are teams picked?

Each sport is different. Some sports can only carry a certain number of athletes on the team. Others keep everybody who comes out for the team. In those sports where teams are picked, coaches will discuss with everyone who wants to try out how this process works for that particular sport.

How long is practice, when are games and how long does each season last?

Most teams practice after school for two hours a day ( sometimes more, sometimes less). Some teams must practice at night from 5-7 due to sharing gym times with various levels of that sport. Games are normally played once or twice a week. Some teams also have competitions or games on Saturdays. Most seasons last three months.

What GPA must I maintain to be eligible?

All student athletes must maintain at least a 2.0. If an athlete has an F . or if his / her G.P.A is below 2.0 but above 1.75, he or she is on probation. That student athlete MUST then get a 2.0 and no F's during the next grading period. No student athlete may have two grading periods with an F.
