Academics
All student athletes must be in good academic standing, which includes acceptable academic performance,
based on the student’s ability, individual classroom community expectations, and a strong work ethic demonstrated
by participation, effort, and follow through in academic work.
A student will be considered ELIGIBLE to participate in athletics at Discovery Charter School, if their most recent Blazers Athletics Progress Report reflects:
- Passing grade or better in all subjects as well as a satisfactory Blazers Athletics Progress Report
A student will be considered SUSPENDED should his/her most recent academic report reflect any one or a combination
- One failing grade or one incomplete in any subject.
- Below satisfactory result in the Blazers Athletics Progress Report
- Removal from a classroom.
- 1st offense will eliminate a student from competition for a one-week period. At the end of the one-week period, all grades will be checked, and if all grades are passing/trending up, then the student-athlete will regain eligibility. During the period in which the student-athlete is ineligible, he/she will be required to practice with the team.

- 2nd offense Suspended for 25% of the remaining games
- 3rd offense will result in the student/athlete being dismissed from the team.
As we develop student athletes physically and mentally, we also teach them healthy habits of character—this includes pride, respect, humility, and sportsmanship.
Discovery Charter School values sportsmanship thru:
*Demonstrations of humility in victory and defeat by showing respect to teammates, opponents and officials.
*Showing maximum effort through fair play, honesty and within the rules of the game or activity no matter the score.
*Striving to make others better through positivity.
Parents, guardians, students and other fans can assist our athletes by honoring and modeling the rules of good sportsmanship. Parents, guardians and coaches are expected to be role models for their players. This means their sportsmanship will always be exemplary.
