Sports forms and the $95 activity fee (checks make payable to "Great Valley School District") must be handed in together.
Sports physicals are valid from June 3, 2013 to June 2, 2014. All forms and fees must be on file BEFORE students can try out.

If you have not turned in a PIAA form, you must do so along with your fee. This form must be completed by your doctor and would require a physical. Please plan accordingly.

Please fill out the middle/high school athletic emergency contact form and turn it in with your paperwork.
 
 
ELIGIBILITY:  In order to participate in any extracurricular activity, students must meet certain academic requirements. Any student with a combination of two or more failing or incomplete current marking period grades, either Academic (E, I) or Qualities of a Learner (U), in the same or different courses will be ineligible to participate the following week. Any student  with a combination of two or more failing or incomplete grades, either Academic (E, I) or Qualities of a Learner (U), in the same or different courses at the end of a marking period will be ineligible for a period of twenty days from the time report cards are issued.

Academic eligibility for all extracurricular activities will be checked weekly. All athletes must meet both school requirements and PIAA requirements for their particular sport.
