Sports Programs
In order for your child to
participate in extra curricular programs, including all
sports, he or she must maintain a 2.0 GPA the quarter prior
to the beginning of that sport's season. He/she must
also have a current physical on file. Make sure you have made or make an
appointment for sports physicals, as a student cannot
participate in any sport without one. Coaches can be
contacted directly regarding tryouts. Participation
and Physical forms can be downloaded from the
PGCPS web site.
