Mile High competes at an interscholastic level.

While athletics are not required, we certainly encourage our students to experience the teamwork and excellent life lessons that can be learned through our programs. Pay-to-play fee per sport: $120.

Each sport requires a new parent permission form, school insurance/private health insurance, and Pay to Play payment.  If you do not have health insurance for your child, you may purchase school insurance from K&K Insurance. Insurance forms are available in the front office. Pay to play fees can be used as a tax credit on your Arizona State tax returns (max $200 individual, $400 family per year) upon completion of a tax credit form, which must be submitted along with the payment. Tax credit forms are available in the front office or on the district tax credit page.

Eligibility

No athlete may participate in any sport if they are 15 years old before September 1st of the current year. In all cases, Mile High coaches and administration will have the final say in matters of student athlete eligibility.

No Pass No Play Policy

Mile High enforces a no pass, no play policy.

Athletic Eligibility Policy

Eligibility for all student-athletes will be checked every Monday. A student will be placed on probation for the week (until the following Monday) if they meet any of the following at the time of the grade check:

• 2 or more missing assignments

• Not meeting non-academic behavior standards

• 2 or more absences

• 2 or more lunch detentions

• Probation/ineligibility checks happen every Monday.

• Students on probation who resolve their issues will regain eligibility the following week.

• Students may continue to practice even while on probation or ineligible.

• Parents, students, and coaches will be notified of eligibility status through Final Forms on Mondays. Coaches will also meet with students.

• It is the student’s responsibility to inform their parent of their status. Parents are encouraged to check PowerSchool regularly.

• To be eligible to play in a game, students must attend school for at least 50% of the school day on game days per PUSD attendance policy.
   

• Quarterly Rule:
  Any student who receives a 2 or lower in a non-academic area (e.g., productivity, behavior) on their quarterly report card will be ineligible for the first game/meet of the next quarter.
  Example: A student who earns a “2” in productivity during 2nd quarter and joins basketball in 3rd quarter will miss the first game of the basketball season.

  Students on probation may still play that week, but are expected to meet with their teachers, coach, and parents to make a plan for improvement.

  If a student is placed on probation one week and still has missing work, behavior concerns, absences, or detentions the following Monday (in the same or a different class), they will become ineligible. Students who are ineligible may not play or travel with the team that entire week/weekend, even if grades improve later in the week.

Mile High administration will make the final determination in matters of student eligibility.
