Draft Competitive Clubs Handbook mirrors athletic eligibility and adds program list

Apr 9, 2026

The Competitive Clubs Handbook draft includes eligibility checks similar to athletics, meeting and competition attendance rules, disciplinary scaling tied to percentage-of-season suspensions, and a list of covered competitive programs (e.g., Color Guard, Debate, Robotics). It is presented as draft language in the committee packet.

The full story

The Competitive Clubs Handbook provided in the packet parallels the Student‑Athlete Handbook on eligibility and discipline but is tailored to competitive clubs. It restates academic eligibility thresholds (e.g., at least 66 percent of full credit load for high school eligibility), outlines meeting and event attendance expectations, and defines progressive discipline, including suspensions measured as percentages of season or activity. The handbook also enumerates district competitive programs to be covered—Color Guard, Debate, DECA, Robotics, and others—indicating scope of covered activities.
