ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE PARTICIPANTS. For seventh grade athletic competition, has not reached his/her 14th birthday on
For eighth grade athletic competition, has not reached his/her 15th birthday on
A student who initially entered the seventh or eighth grade the current school year and is too old for seventh or eighth grade participation may participate according to age, that is, seventh graders on the eighth grade, ninth grade, high school junior varsity or high school varsity team, and eighth graders on the ninth grade, high school junior varsity or high school varsity team
Basics of No Pass, No Play
Must be passing all courses (except identified advanced classes) at end of six weeks grading period. If received failing grade at end of six weeks period, must be passing all courses at 3-week evaluation period. Rule does include online courses that count towards state graduation requirements. Ineligible students must wait seven (7) calendar days after a three-week evaluation period and the grading period to regain eligibility. Ineligible students may not dress for contests, travel with team, sit on the bench, manage,
Ineligible students may practice and scrimmage.
ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS NO PASS NO PLAY FROM UIL SIDE BY SIDE HOLDING BACK SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADERS
Are 7th and 8th grade students eligible to participate in UIL activities the first six weeks of the school year if they were held back on parental request for reasons involving the student’s emotional, psychological, or social development, even though the student has passed all subjects and would otherwise have been promoted?
promoted from one grade level to the next. A student held back one year in the 7th
entering the 9th grade. A student held back for two years for athletic purposes shall lose the third and fourth years of eligibility after entering the 9th grade. One of the determining factors used in determining why a student repeats grades is an examination of the student’s grades. Parents should be notified that it is likely that their child will be subject to the consequences listed above if the student was ready to be academically promoted.
Athletes must not have violated any provision of the Athletic Amateur Rule
Students in grades 9-12 are in violation if, within the preceding 12 months:
they received money or other valuable consideration for participating in a sport that is a UIL sponsored sport made available thru the school the student attends. * As of Aug 1, 2016, students may accept reasonable fees that do not exceed LOCAL prevailing rates for
teaching, coaching or officiating athletic contests. Any money received prior to Aug 1, 2016 must be returned before participating in a contest.
they received valuable consideration for allowing his/her name to be used in promoting a product, plan or service related to a UIL contest. they accepted money or other valuable consideration from school booster club funds for any non-school purpose. Consequences include ineligibility for varsity contests and game/contest forfeiture
Efforts by anyone to encourage students to attend another school for athletic purposes is a violation of the Recruiting Rule and could result in player and team disqualifications. Athletes that have been encouraged to attend another school could be ruled ineligible. Recruiting is not only a violation by the student who has been recruited, but it is also a violation by the school and/or school district personnel who recruited the student. It is a violation to recruit at all grade levels.
Athletes must not have violated any provision of the Summer Camp Rule Incoming 10-12 grade students shall not attend a team camp in which a 7-12 grade coach from their attendance zone works. Students in grades 7-9 may attend ONE team camp (per sport) sponsored by the school in which a coach from their attendance zone is employed, for no more than 6 consecutive days each summer.
If changed schools for athletic purposes, student is ineligible for varsity play for at least one year Common Indicators of Moving for Athletic Purposes
Recruiting allegations. Student was not in good standing in the previous school, either academically or in a sports program. Student was unhappy with a coach in the previous school. Student played on a non-school team and is transferring to the school were other team members play or non-school team coach is employed. Student received individual or team instruction from a school coach and is transferring to the school of that coach.
For any student/athlete who changed schools and has completed the 8th grade
Athletes are expected to abide by the KISD Athletic Code 0f Conduct
Students are expected to refrain from inappropriate posts on social media websites. Posts, photos, video, etc. that are deemed inappropriate, derogatory and/or compromising could be subject to consequences outlined in the KISD Athletic Code of Conduct in displaying conduct unbecoming of a Katy ISD athlete.
KISD encourages our students to participate in multiple sports
More and more studies indicate that those who participate in multiple sports have a better athletic experience during high school and typically experience greater success than those who specialize. Multiple sport participation facilitates the development of the “team” concept. Data indicates that specialization in sports does not improve a child’s athletic development more than multi-sport participation. Kids should not be discouraged from playing more than one sport.
Help make your child’s athletic experience memorable! Appreciate the value of the total athletic experience for your child! Respect the fact that time goes by fast, therefore absorb each moment! Say good things to your child about the coaches and the program! Support the idea of their involvement in something bigger than themselves! Acknowledge that things won’t always go the way you or your child hope….as a parent, this is a teachable life lesson opportunity!
