Here at Juarez, we have several opportunities for students to participate in extra-curricular athletics. There is no charge to participate, but students will be charged a $50 replacement fee for uniforms that aren’t returned or are returned damaged. Coaches may also ask for monies or fundraising for medals, certificates, trips, t-shirts, etc. Seasons are 8 weeks long. Coaches will set practice times for their teams. If there is a conflict in attending practices and/or games, then students should not participate. Once the teams have been selected, an eligibility sheet that displays student grades will be generated.
- If a student has TWO(2) or more F’s, then they are ineligible for the next week’s game. They may practice, but not participate in the game.
- If a student is ineligible more than twice during a season, then they may be removed from the team per coach discretion.
After the fall season, any student with a GPA below 2.0 will be unable to try out for a team until their GPA is at 2.0 or above. In addition to the academic requirements, students must have the following on file:
- A current physical, within 395 days, on file with the nurse.
- A signed waiver releasing the district from liability in the event of injury.
- The signed parent-athlete code of conduct form that will be given electronically before the beginning of each season.
More information will be forthcoming from your child’s coach as their season approaches. You can contact Abraham Mendoza by e-mail [email protected] or by phone at 224-303-2660.
We play in the North Shore Conference that consists of seven schools; Abbott, Benny, Juarez, Lewis, Smith, Shiloh, and Zion Central. We compete against them in the following sports.
