• In order to participate in an after school athletic program, all students must be cleared to participate through the athletic office.  The first step is to complete "Register My Athlete".  All students must be cleared prior to try-outs (for cut sports) or the first day of practice (for non-cut sports).  No athletic clearance can be accepted if the student has not completed the "Register My Athlete" process and has then been accepted by the Athletic Coordinator.

    ATHLETIC FEES FOR 2024-2025

    In 2016-2017 the Deer Valley Unified School District faced another year of reduced funding by the State Legislature. As a result, and in an effort to balance the district’s budget, the 好色导航Governing Board has approved an athletic fee for the 2016-2017 school year. This fee will continue to be applied towards the 2018-2019 school year. The approved fee is in compliance with legislation passed in 1995, A.R.S. 15-342.24, enabling schools to assess reasonable fees for optional extra-curricular activities and programs. The purpose of the athletic fee is to provide revenue to maintain and operate athletic programs, which exceeds $2,000,000 per year, for 7th-8th grade and high school students. These fees collected will help defray the expenses of operating the 好色导航athletic programs.

    Eligibility

    In accordance with the State of Arizona’s regulations and Deer Valley’s Governing Board Policy, only those students deemed academically eligible may participate in extra or co-curricular activities in which competition is an integral part of the organization. Students must be passing all subjects to be eligible. Study sessions will be available for students needing assistance.

    Students are encouraged to work out with their team(s) and not quit the sport even if they have a failing grade. They will be allowed to fully participate in competitions only when they can show passing grades on mid?reports, progress reports, or report cards. Each of these grading periods determines the student's eligibility until the next grading period approximately 2 1/2 weeks later.

    The teacher and the coach may limit participation in a sport due to disruptive behavior and attitude.

    If a student receives a detention, in?school suspension, or out?of?school suspension, the student may not participate in or attend any extracurricular activities including practices, games, competitions, dances, etc. Parents may not change scheduled detentions due to conflicts with extra-curricular activities.

    Note: An absence of more than 1/2 of the school day will make students ineligible to participate in sports or other activities that day only. Students who go home ill may not return to school to participate in extra-curricular activities.
