Island Christian School is proud to be a part of the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA). Therefore, as a certified member of the state organization, Island Christian School athletes must meet the eligibility standards set by FHSAA. A student, who for any reason changes schools after beginning the ninth grade, as well as the student’s parent(s) or legal guardian(s), must sign in the presence of a notary public an “Affidavit of Compliance with the FHSAA Policy on Athletic Recruiting.” The affidavit will be necessary regardless of whether the student changes schools during the school year or during the summer period between school years. The affidavit will be accompanied by an explanation of the FHSAA Policy on Athletic Recruiting, including the penalties for violating the policy, as well as the consequences of making a false statement on the affidavit. The student will not be eligible to participate in interscholastic athletic competition at his/her new school until the school submits the affidavit bearing all necessary signatures to the FHSAA Office. All student athletes must maintain a cumulative 2.0 grade point average on a 4.0 un-weighted scale through the end of the previous semester as required by Florida Statutes. This GPA must include all courses taken since the student entered high school. For sixth-graders, seventh-graders and eighth-graders, the student must have been regularly promoted from the previous grade, carry a normal class load, do satisfactory classroom work and maintain a satisfactory conduct record. (FHSAA Bylaw 11.2) Any student not maintaining the appropriate 2.0 cum average for a semester will be academically ineligible for the next full semester (18 weeks).

 ·        Student athlete must submit a yearly FHSAA physical form. The physical must be completed after the stated date posted on the FHSAA web-site of the preceding school year and one day BEFORE the first official practice of the desired sports season.
