Students must be officially enrolled in Waterford
Schools, have a physical card, and have an Athletic Code
of Conduct signed by parent and student before they may
begin practice. Physical cards are available in the Main
Office. A student must be in attendance at school all
day to participate in practice or a contest on that same
day. To be eligible to participate in an athletic
program, students must meet the MHSAA minimum of passing
66% of all classes attempted and meet the following
Waterford School District eligibility policy.
1. Have no more
than one E and a 2.0 in your
other 5 classes.
All Student Athletes who did meet the MHSAA previous
semester criteria of passing 66% of their credit hours
but did not meet the 2.00 criteria will have their
grades checked at the 10 week point. If at that point
the student athlete has achieved the 2.0 Grade Point
Average they will become immediately eligible. Any
student who passes all 6 classes will be eligible to
participate in interscholastic athletics.

2. Have no more than one E and a 2.0 in your other 5

All student athletes must maintain a Grade Point Average
of 2.0 during the present semester. If the student
athlete does not meet the current semester standard they
must sit out a minimum of (1) week defined as Monday
through Sunday or until the minimum requirement is met.

competition during that time.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has
set the academic standards for all athletes. If these
standards are not met by the student during their four
years in high school, they are not eligible to
participate in Division I or II.
