In order to participate in activities sponsored by CHSAA or Northglenn High School, students must be enrolled in courses totaling a minimum of 3.0 Carnegie units during the period of participation (Carnegie units = credit).

Twelve Point Check List for Student Athletic Eligibility

1. Student must be an undergraduate
2. Student must be enrolled in and attending classes which offer a minimum of 3.0 credits the semester before and during the semester of participation.   
3. Student must not be failing at the time of participation more than the equivalent of 0.5 unit of credit (In most cases, this means the student may not be failing more than one class). The student should see a counselor to insure that he/she is meeting the requirements.  A student who receives more than 0.5 credit of “F” for a semester will be ineligible for the following sports season.  Weekly eligibility will be checked.
4. Student must have been eligible in accordance with check list #2 (above) at the close of the previous semester.  Summer school may be used to regain eligibility. The classes taken in summer school must be in the same subject as classes previously failed.
5. Student must have had a physical examination from a medical doctor within the last calendar year; using the CHSAA required physical paperwor.
6. Student must have a parent/legal guardian read and sign the High School Authorization for Athletic Participation form.
7. Student must have a permission form signed by parent/legal guardian indicating he/she is covered by an insurance plan.
8. Student must not have turned 19 before August 1st of the specific school year.
9. Student must not have dropped out of school.
10. Student must not play more than three seasons in any sport during high school (four seasons in a 4-year high school).
11. Student must not practice with a non-school team in his/her sport while he/she is a member of the High School team (unless he/she has received prior written consent from the High School Principal).
12. Student must be in compliance with the CHSAA transfer rule.

If you are not in compliance with any of the 12 items stated above, see the Athletic Director immediately. If an ineligible player participates in any athletic contest(s), the contest(s) must be forfeited according to League and CHSAA rules.

Additional requirements to participate in athletic practices and events:

• All student-athletes must attend all classes the day of an athletic activity (game or practice) in order to participate. Absences due to a doctor appointment, court appearance, or other legitimate reasons need to be cleared by the Athletic Director.  Any unauthorized absence from any class by the end of the school day makes the participant ineligible to participate on that day.
• If a student is serving a discipline suspension, he/she shall not participate in athletics until he/she has regained status as a student. (A student suspended on Friday from school, cannot participate in athletics until he/she regains student status on the next scheduled school day).

Athletic Eligibility (Weekly)

Students involved in athletics, spirit squad, and other CHSAA sponsored activities (which may include certain music activities and student council) must meet academic standards in order to gain and retain their eligibility. Once eligibility is initially established, participating students will have their academic grades verified on a weekly basis. Specific weekly eligibility guidelines are available in the athletic director’s office and in individual program packets.  

Transfer Students

If you are new to NHS as a 10th, 11th or 12th grader and plan to participate in sports please contact the athletic office to begin the transfer process.

Attendance Expectations for Student Athletes

Welcome to Northglenn High School Athletics! We are excited to partner with our families in supporting the success of our student-athletes. Participation in athletics is a privilege, and we believe that success begins in the classroom.

Regular school attendance is one of the strongest predictors of academic achievement and helps students develop the responsibility, commitment, and discipline needed to excel both in school and in their sport. Because of this, Northglenn High School Athletics supports the attendance expectations of Adams 12 Five Star Schools and is committed to holding our student-athletes to high standards of academic excellence.

We appreciate your partnership in making school attendance a priority. By working together, we can help every student-athlete thrive in the classroom, on the field of play, and beyond.

Attendance Eligibility Policy

In order to be eligible for competition, students must attend 80% of their classes each week. This includes BOTH excused and unexcused absences (this does NOT include class periods missed for participation in a school sponsored activity or athletic contest). If the student has a doctor’s note or needs to miss school for a family emergency, the student must communicate this with their head coach, who will let the Athletic Director know. Families must call the attendance office to excuse the absence as soon as possible and within two school days (District policy 5220). Attendance will be pulled every week just like academic eligibility. 

• If a student does not have 80% attendance when eligibility lists are pulled, they will not be able to participate in the next contest OR be ineligible for a portion of the contest. The following information indicates how this policy will be enforced:

Attendance Eligibility Consequences:

• Sports with 20 or more scheduled contests: Student-athlete is ineligible for the entire next scheduled contest.
• Sports with 10-19 scheduled contests: Student-athlete is ineligible for one-half of the next scheduled contest.
• Meet, tournament, and individual sports: The consequence will be served by missing the equivalent competitive opportunity, as determined by the athletic director with input from the head coach, to ensure consistency across all sports. Examples include the first half of events entered, the first round of competition, the first 9 holes of golf, or the first scheduled match(es).

Thank you for your support.

In order for school athletic programs to be positive educational experiences, spectators need to be aware of the necessity for good sportsmanship and the means by which it is attained. 

All fans viewing high school contests are asked to:

• Show respect for the opponents at all times and treat them as guests.
• Show respect for the officials and judges.  Good sportsmanship is the willingness to abide by and accept the decisions of the officials.
• Know, understand and appreciate the rules of the contest.
• Avoid behavior which is intended to incite the opposition.
• Maintain self-control at all times.  Keeping a proper perspective on the environment, the event and the level of competition is important.
• Recognize and appreciate skill and performance, regardless of the team.  The ability to recognize quality performance and to acknowledge it without regard to team membership is one of the highest gestures of good sportsmanship.
• Refrain from using profanity and/or obscene cheers.
• Dress appropriately. Shirts and shoes are required.  Painted torsos are prohibited.
• Observe league and state rules prohibiting signs and noisemakers and help focus on the positive benefits of high school athletics and activities.

The way to influence the behavior of other spectators is to be a model of excellent behavior.  We appreciate your support and involvement.eturn.

Transportation for student athletes to athletic events: 

• Transportation will not be provided for competitions or events within 10 driving miles of your home school.
• No transportation will be provided for athletic events held on Saturdays. Multi-day post-season competitions may be exceptions to this procedure.
• In cases where the travel is more than 10 miles, transportation will be provided to and from the contest (weekdays only). Athletes and families will have to provide their own transportation to and from contests on Saturdays.
• Competitions that will occur within our school district boundaries will not have transportation.
• Coaches will share the bus schedules and athletic schedules with parents and student athletes.  
• Athletic Secretaries will have copies of both the transportation schedules and the athletic schedules in the office.

Students registering must pay the MANDATORY $185 district athletic fee in order to be cleared to participate. ($92.50 reduced benefits, free for all who qualify for free benefits.

Students registering for athletics must have a current physical examination on file before the student is authorized to participate in practice/tryouts. To ensure clearance for participation, physicals should be uploaded when they complete the online registration and must be done prior to the first day of practice/tryouts. 

All students who participate in Athletics will be required to use the CHSAA approved physical form.  All other forms provided by your student's doctor will not be accepted. You will need to use the CHSAA approved form.

Physicals are valid for 1 year from the date of the last exam and must state that the student is cleared to participate in sports.
