I know that I can get a good response on this board...
What is the state GPA requirement where you coach? What state? Does your local school system have a higher standard?
Here in NC the NCHSAA just requires you pass 3 of 4 and be promoted so that means you can have a .75 GPA and play...however, a few school districts have a 2.0 gpa rule...what is like in your state and area?
Thanks

As translated by my district, a player has to pass 2/3 of his possible classes for the previous semester to be eligible. In my district, that is 4 of 6 classes.
We also have a 1.7 Semester GPA requirement or the player must sit at least 1 game until their GPA is above a 1.7. I find the 1.7 GPA rules, as we apply them to be silly since we will have 2 games before school starts. The kid sits week one, but could play week 2 even though we aren't in school and his GPA has not improved. Weed 3 rolls around and we will have 3.5 days of school when he will have to do a grade check which he will continue until the end of the quarter or season, whichever is first.

Missouri State rules basically allow the student to fail one class a semester. Our high school's policy is no F's to play. You could theorectically practice until mid-term (9 weeks) and then play if your grades were up (how many kids are going to do that?)

Our state requirements (Virginia) are ridiculously easy- pass 5 classes per semester. Get 5 Ds and you're in. As others have stated, though, many districts have set up their own standards. In our district we need a 2.0 although you can get a waiver for one of the eight semesters. It has more of an effect on winter and spring sports (some years the semesster break has been a disaster for basketball) because fall athletes can go to summer school.

In California, Sac-Joaquin Section, we have 2.0 rule and must pass 4/6 classes. Each school district may have a waiver policy for the 2.0 rule.

State of VA is a joke (I coach here too)... So all you need to do is pass 5 classes with a D..
So in theory you can have 5 D's and 2 F's (Under a 1.0 GPA..) and are still eligible.
JOKE!!

The Illinois state rule is you must be passing 20 credit hours to play. That translates to passing 4 classes and elgibility is checked weekly. Many districts have much stricter policies including some that have a 0 Fs policy.

Kids can get a HS diploma with a 0.8 (D-minus) GPA but be ineligible for athletics - not necessarily ALL extra-curriculars.
Don't get me started.
Not an issue coaches can win, any way.

In California, all CIF schools, the rule is a 2.0 GPA with no more than 2 F's. There is also a one time probationary term that a student may use at any one time during their four years of HS. Sections and individual school districts can make the policy tougher, but that is the baseline.
Our school district is 2.0 with no F's. We also, as district policy, never grant a student the probationary term.
Another district in town makes a living on the probationary term, and probably would not have a lot of spring frosh/fall soph teams if they didn't.

Maryland I think goes county to county but in my county its 2.0 and no E's for the 4th auarter. A kid can fail every class for the year as long as they have 2.0 and no E's 4th quarter.

Pleading ignorance but what is an E?
It also burns my waffles that there are no eligibility requirements or rules for extra curriculars that are not sports...our band practices all day during the summer, literally until 10 or 11 oclock sometimes and there is definitely no heat index issue as they are outside while we are sitting around waiting for the temp to drop.
That rant out of the way, our school in TN you need to pass 6 of 8, no gpa requirement that I am aware of. Not too difficult at all!!!

Understand & agree. This is a common problem. Always frustrating when a big guy you could use is out there beating the drum but is ineligible. What's even more frustrating is when certain spring sports "enable" failure by playing kids - especially frosh/soph - with low gpa's cause ad & prin doesn't enforce eligibility standard & then kid looks at you funny because you say he has to raise his g[a to be eligible. FLA is 2.0 cumulative, one time one semester exception for soph's who had at least 1 semester where the semester gpa was 2.0 or better.

Ours is 1.66 and no F's. Incredibly easy, in my opinion, yet I am consistently appalled at how many kids we have who are below or dangerously close to that number.

no such concept as GPA`s in Ontario, but (so far as I recall) you need to be passing all 4 of your classes and taking at least 3 courses (in gr 12 you can get a spare) that semester unless the 1 or 2 credits you`re taking are the ones that stand between you and graduation. Different coaches apply different rules above that.
My current team-league has no rules regarding that, it`s very informal, but I hold them to very high standards. No failed tests or you don`t play that week, no failing classes, no playing if your teacher says you need to improve your schoolwork. I make myself available if the kids need help with homework, and tell them there are no excuses for not passing. `you may not be a genius, but a 50 is pretty easy to come by. If your mechanic changed 2 of your snow tires, would you be satisfied`

In our school district, for the first time, there will be some uniformity among eligibility. From now on if a student flunks a class he is ineligible for any out-of-school activity. No football, no band, no FFA, no speech etc.
It was a LOUD teacher's meeting but got to give the school board props when they passed it

in Texas:
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE ELIGIBLE SO LONG AS THEY. . .
* are not high school graduates;
* are full-time day students;
* have attended classes since 6th day of class of the present school year, or have been enrolled and in regular attendance for 15 or more calendar days before the contest;
* are eligible under no-pass, no play;
* have the required number of credits for eligibility;
* are enrolled in a four year program of high school courses;
* initially enrolled in the 9th grade not more than four years ago, or in the 10th grade not more than three years ago (students may apply for waivers);
* were not recruited;
* are not in violation of awards rule.
BASICS OF NO PASS, NO PLAY
* Must be passing all courses (except identified advanced classes).
* Students lose eligibility for a three-week period, which is defined as 15 class days. Exception: one but only one of the three school weeks may consist of only three or four class days, provided the school has been dismissed for a scheduled holiday period. Two class days does not constitute a school week. Exception: Thanksgiving if schools are on holiday Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
* School week begins at 12:01 a.m. on the first instructional day of the calendar week and ends at the close of instruction on the last instructional day of the calendar week (excluding holidays).
* Ineligible students must wait seven (7) calendar days after a three-week evaluation period and the grading period to regain eligibility.
* Students may regain eligibility an unlimited number of times throughout the school year. Passing means a minimum grade of 70 on all courses (except identified advanced classes).
* Note: Spring break can't be part of the 3-week evaluation process. All students are eligible during spring break.
so, if our TB fails english, we lose him for 3 weeks (3 games). he can rejoin us if he is passing all of his classes - ALL his classes, not just english - at the 3nd of the 3 week period. he will continue to practice but not eligible to compete in a game until after the 3 week period.
