There are 7 basic requirements: (1). Grades-Academics, (2). Physical, (3). Insurance, (4). Age, (5). 8-Semester Rule (Years in High school), (6). Residency, and (7). Attendance. A student will not be allowed to practice or try out for a team until they are eligible in all areas.
1. Grades-Academics - A student must pass 3-of-4 classes (credits) per semester which includes scoring a Level 3 or above on their EOC Exams.
2. Physical - A physical is required every 365 days (normally once in a school year.) Forms can be downloaded from the school or athletic web sites under FORMS-DO NOT SUBSTITUTE THIS FORM. Fill out your personal history and have it signed by a parent and the student-athlete. Take this completed form with you to your physical exam. In order to tryout for an athletic team, a student-athlete must have on file an up-to-date physical. The Physical Form/Insurance Information/Athletic Participation Agreement/Parental Permission/Student-The Athlete & Parent Pledges must be completely filled out and signed prior to the student being eligible to practice.
If a student misses five (5) consecutive days of practice due to illness or injury, then the student must have a doctor's note stating that they are (1) Physically able to continue playing the sport, and (2) recovered from their illness or injury, before they will be allowed to continue to participate in athletics. Any head injury must be evaluated by a doctor licensed to practice medicine before they are allowed to play in a game or practice. The doctor must sign the NCHSAA Return To Play Form.
3. Insurance - Onslow County Schools requires that all athletes purchase school athletic accident insurance OR show proof of personal accident insurance by completing/signing an insurance waiver form in order to participate in athletics (including tryouts). This information is protected but is necessary in case the student-athlete is injured and the parent cannot be initially contacted so that emergency treatment can be given without delay.
4. Age - No student is eligible who is 19 on or before August 31st, 2012 (born on or before August 31, 1993)...(New age date effective SY 2011-2012)

6. Residency- A student must reside with their parents or show a court order referring in terms of custody and not guardianship. Please contact the NHS Athletic Director if there are questions and for a further explanation of the residency requirements (School Phone 455-4868). Any change in residency must be bona fide; (1) The original residence must be abandoned as a residence; that is sold, rented or disposed of as a residence, and must not be used as residence by any member of the family; (2) The entire family must make the change and take with them the household goods and furniture appropriate to the circumstances; (3) the change must be made with the intent that it is permanent. If a family submits false residency information, the student-athlete will be declared ineligible for 365 days. OUT-OF-DISTRICT Approvals must be made by JUNE 1 each year.
7. Attendance - A player must have been in attendance for at least 85% of the previous semester at his/her previous school. If you miss more than 13.5 days of school, in any one semester, for any reason (excused & unexcused), you are ineligible.
Hopefully, all of our NHS student-athletes will have a COACHABLE ATTITUDE, be a TEAM PLAYER and be a POSITIVE ROLE MODEL!
Each athletic team and coach will have their additional team rules and expectations; both written and verbal.
A mandatory Pre-Season Parent Meeting will be held at the beginning of each sport season to explain the overall athletic program expectations and to meet the coaches. At least one parent must attend this meeting in order for their daughter/son to participate in a game.
