Age limits. If you reach 19 years of age prior to July 1, you will be ineligible the next school year. Over-aged 8th graders should be moved up to the senior high team to have eight semesters of eligibility. Over-aged 6th graders should be moved up to the 7th grade team to participate, because they will be ineligible as seniors. In order to participate on or against teams made up of only 7th graders, you must not have reached 14 years of age prior to July 1 preceding the opening of school. In order to participate on or against teams made up of only 8th-graders, you must not have reached 15 years of age prior to July 1 preceding the opening of school. In order to participate on or against teams made up of only 9th graders (freshmen teams), you must not have reached 16 years of age prior to July 1 preceding the opening of school. Students may participate with the next higher grade team if they no longer meet the age limit for their grade. NOTE: Check with your school principal or athletic director for options available to you if you are ineligible for your grade level because of age.
