O.H.S.A.A. Eligibility St. Ursula Academy is a member of the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA). The purpose of this organization shall be to regulate, supervise, and administer interscholastic athletic competition among its member schools. As a long-standing member of this organization, St. Ursula Academy agrees to abide by all the bylaws and supports regulations adopted by OHSAA. The eligibility of a student/athlete is determined by Ohio residence, academic grades that she receives each semester, and by her actions in the summer as well as during the interscholastic season of their sport. Parents and a student/athlete of St. Ursula Academy, share in the responsibility that rules governing the eligibility of student/athletes will be followed. All students who meet the eligibility requirements of the Ohio High School Athletic Association and the GGCL are welcome to try out for the teams. Tryouts are held annually and no student, including a senior, is guaranteed a position on any team simply because she was on the team in prior years. A student must have the consent of her parents before she will be permitted to participate in St. Ursula Academy’s athletic program and her medical form must be updated annually and filed in the school’s athletic office. For specifics on Academic Eligibility, please refer to the Student-Parent handbook. If a student is ineligible for more than one half of the season, she will not earn a letter in that sport. Note: A student may be declared ineligible at any time because of a serious violation of school or team rules. 25
