Due to the restrictions on travel booking conditions, the following 10 day rule will apply to athlete eligibility for end of season tournaments. 1. The Athletic Director will send the preliminary tournament roster to all Upper School teachers 15 school days in advance of travel date. 2. Teachers must respond with any concerns to the Athletic Director no later than 10 school days prior to the travel date. If a student-athlete does not meet the ‘good standing’ criteria listed in 3.0 above, then he or she will be subject to a review by the academic review committee. Prior to any decision to remove an athlete from the tournament team, a meeting with the parents, the Athletic Director and the respective US Assistant Principal must have taken place. 3. Students who become the subject of concern after the 10 day rule will remain eligible to travel to the tournament, however; it may affect their eligibility for the following sports season. For example : The travel date for ISST Fall 2012 is Wednesday, November 7. The Athletic Director publishes the anticipated travel roster on or before Wednesday, 17 October. Faculty must respond with concerns on or before Wednesday, October 24. 10.0 The Athlete’s Responsibility Each athlete must take responsibility for communicating with his/her teachers and take a pro-active role. As a matter of courtesy the athlete must inform the respective teachers that he/she will be missing classes for a sports trip and ensure that all homework and assignments are collected. It is also the athlete’s responsibility to make up missed work. It is the responsibility of the student-athlete to speak to his/her teachers. 11.0 FIS Sports Offered By Season and Eligibility by Grade and Age Grade/age eligibility for FIS interscholastic teams is determined by the policies of the various athletic organizations in which FIS holds membership i.e. ISST, DODDS and SCIS, and by FIS Athletic Department and school policy.

The student must have attained their 12th birthday, and not attained their 15th birthday by 1 st September of the current school year to participate in the Junior division.

Students in grades 6-12 can participate in team practices and essentially there is a ‘no cuts’ policy to encourage high levels of participation. However, it should be noted that students in grades 7 and 8 may only participate in regular season cross country and track and field DODDS meets as “exhibition” or “unofficial” participants. They may not take part in DODDS championship events. 6th grade students may not compete in DODDS meets.
