STEP 3- Eligibility Review & “approved to play” sent to student email
Athletic directors review all Dragonfly documents, student’s grades, and student attendance of the previous semester to ensure all eligibility requirements are met. If you are new to Wake County, this process may take longer as we wait to receive records.
If a student is eligible, students will receive a Ticket To Play email from Mr. Miles the week before tryouts.
If a student is ineligible; student and guardians will be notified via email.
**winter sports: your eligibility will be reviewed in the new year DURING THE SEASON– make sure your fall semester grades and attendance comply with eligibility requirements!
**spring sports: Spring sports eligibility is based on the previous fall semester attendance and grades.
