ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION POLICY
Athletes are prohibited from participating in more than one school-sponsored athletic activity during any given season without the prior approval of the Athletic Director.
 
When seasons overlap, an athlete may not go out for the new sport until his/her season is completed with the earlier team. Coaches must make accommodations for these athletes to try out.
 
Online athletic clearance registration must be completed and cleared to tryout for a sport.
 
ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY
: In order to participate in athletics, students must earn a 2.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale in all enrolled classes AND be on track to graduate. Students must be enrolled in and pass a minimum of 20 semester credits (4 classes). Academic eligibility resets on the Date of Determination (see below) after the end of EACH grading period (1st Quarter, 1st Semester, 3rd Quarter, 2nd Semester – 2nd Semester grades count for Fall eligibility excluding incoming freshmen). Incomplete grades count as zero until reflected in Infinite Campus official gradebook. No Mark grades do not count against a student’s GPA. Grade changes submitted after the Date of Determination will not be accepted toward academic eligibility 
 
CUT POLICY
The California High School Athletic Department is sensitive to the needs of all student-athletes during the tryout period.  It is Cal High's desire to see that as many student-athletes as possible are involved in the athletic program throughout the school year.  Unfortunately, due to limitations in team size for certain sports, cuts must be made to accommodate team needs.
