STATE ELIGIBILITY RULES
  • You must be a good high school citizen.
  • You must attend North Technical High School as a full day student to be eligible to participate in athletics.
  • You must be enrolled in courses that offer 3.0 units of credit each semester, and must have earned 3.0 units of credit or 80% of the maximum allowable, whichever is greater, the preceding semester. This is a rule change starting in the 2009/2010 school year.
  • You cannot compete in any sport for more than four seasons.
  • You must enter school within the first eleven days of the semester to be eligible to play that semester.
  • You must not accept an award for competing for any out- of- school organization other than a letter, medal, or trophy.

  • Do not commit an act of un-sportsmanlike conduct while playing or attending a high school activity.
  • You must be in full attendance the day of practice or a game. The only exception to this policy is a written excuse from a doctor or dentist because of an appointment.
