What you need to play PSAL Sports

  • Every student needs a physical.  You can obtain physicals from your doctor.  Alternatively, the Montefiore Clinic inside the school will also give students a physical but students must be registered at the clinic (see Montefiore Clinic)
  • Every student also needs a parent consent form.  Forms can be obtained from the coach or athletic director (room 324a) and both the consent form and physical should be returned to the coach.

Academic Eligibility 

  • The 5+1 Rule - In order to gain and/ or maintain eligibility a student-athlete must pass five credit bearing courses (not 5 credits) + physical education in the most recent final marking period (January or June). In addition, a student-athlete must pass five credit bearing courses + physical education in the marking periods closest to December 1st and /or April 15th to continue his/her eligibility.  Incoming 9th grade student-athletes are eligible to compete in PSAL activities immediately upon entry into high school. The second report card is the first report card used to determine academic eligibility for 9th grade students.
  • The 10 Credit Rule - A student-athlete must accumulate a minimum of ten (10) credits, not including physical education, in the two semesters prior to the eligibility period (all credits accumulated in night school and summer school are included). This rule takes effect beginning with a student's third semester in high school.
  • Attendance - In order to maintain eligibility within a marking period a student-athlete must maintain a minimum of 90% school attendance in the marking period used for eligibility evaluation. The 90% attendance requirement is not cumulative.  A student-athlete must be present in school and must attend all scheduled classes in order to participate in any tryout, practice, scrimmage, or contest on that day.
