Dear Parents of Student-Athletes:

South Junior High would like to invite your student to participate in our intramural sports program.  The sports program has four seasons with a variety of activities.

South's After School Intramural Sports Program is rooted in a proud tradition of strong academics, positive sportsmanship, self-discipline, responsibility, character, commitment, fairness, and respect for all who participate in the intramural sports program.

Here is how our program works:  All students may come out and participate for five weeks from 2:30 until 4:15 pm.  After those five weeks, the coaches will select a 7th and 8th grade All-Star Team to represent the school in a District Intramural Tournament. The All-Star Team will practice as a team for one week followed by a week of tournament play. In order for your student to be eligible to make the All-Star Team, they must have a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) in the previous academic quarter, have excellent attendance both at school and at practices, maintain a positive attitude, exhibit responsible and respectful locker room behavior, display respect to all who are involved, demonstrate team cooperation, and finally, display appropriate skill levels.

Team athletes may miss their 6th and/or 7th period classes to attend and participate in away games during the week of the intramural tournament.  If this occurs, the student is responsible to make up any work and/or tests they may have missed while playing sports.

South believes that participation in organized competitive sports will reward your student with good character, and a work ethic that will be valuable to them both on and off the field for the rest of their lives. We would like to encourage as many students to participate as possible, as such, intramural participation is completely free.

I would like to welcome you to South and I hope that your student takes the opportunity to join our intramural program.

Yours Truly,

Austin Fullmer, Intramural Director
