Stay eligible to play

Athletic eligibility

Elementary athletics eligibility at SLAM Nevada has two tracks, plus one mid-season grade check. Track 1 is the weekly classroom check. Track 2 is attendance and the athletic director's final call. They are separate.

Public eligibility page: slamnvathletics.org/slam-eligibility.html

Weekly · academics

Home Run

Classwork completed, homework turned in, keeping up in class.

Weekly · behavior

Bulls Commitment

Respect, effort, good choices, following school and classroom rules.

Bulls Commitment

Track 1 · weekly Friday check

How it works

Homeroom marks academics and behavior on Fridays.

  • Everyone starts green.
  • A red on either Home Run or Bulls Commitment is one bad week.
  • Two reds in the same week still count as one bad week, not two.
  • Only submitted weeks count. A skipped week does not count against the athlete.
  • Parents get an email only if that week was red. A clean week is silent.

Track 1 ladder

Probation and Suspension

A green week means good standing and wipes out earlier trouble on the ladder.

  1. 01
    Probation

    First red week

    The athlete still plays. Family and coach get an email.

  2. 02
    Suspension

    Second consecutive

    The athlete sits out the next game. After it is served, they start clean. A later bad week starts Probation again. It does not stack into a longer ban.

  3. 03
    Any green week

    Reset

    Good standing. A green week wipes out earlier trouble on the ladder. The two bad weeks must be back to back.

Examples

  • Good, good, goodGood standing, no email.
  • Good, bad, goodProbation, then back to good standing. One email.
  • Good, bad, badProbation, then Suspension. They miss the next game.
  • Bad, good, badProbation, cleared, Probation again. Never suspended — the bad weeks were not consecutive.

Track 2 · separate from the weekly ladder

Attendance

Game day

Attend school that day

Students must attend school on the day of a practice or competition. Miss school that day and they may not practice, try out, play, or race that same day.

Appointments

Check in or out

For medical appointments or prearranged absences, check in or out through the front office. Any partial or full-day absence needs an excused parent note on file.

Red flag

Chronic absence

Students who are chronically absent are ineligible for athletics. Attendance matters before the season and during the season.

Practice

Practice attendance

Consistent practice attendance is part of game eligibility. Each head coach sets the team practice policy and will work with students in other school activities when possible.

Track 2 · one mid-season check

Mid-season grade check

If a student has an F, they are suspended for a game.

Track 2

Athletic director's final call

Students are expected to represent SLAM with positive behavior, academic effort, and teamwork. Final eligibility and discipline decisions rest with the athletic director.
