Liberty-Benton Middle School Athletics Policy

ATHLETICS

Athletics play a primary role in complementing the educational program of the school.  Through participation in athletic events, students vividly learn the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, individual responsibility, and dedication.  Liberty-Benton Middle School offers a well-rounded athletic program during each season in which every student has an opportunity to participate.  Presently, football, volleyball, cross country, basketball and track are the recognized sports.

The athletic council has formulated a policy which relates to all of the programs of the athletic department.  The policy is explained to participating athletes and is available for anyone else’s consideration.

ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY

The new eligibility requirements as established by the Ohio High School Athletic Association are listed below:

A.  The eligibility or ineligibility of a student continues until the start of the next grading period.
