To try out and participate in athletic activities students must:

  • Take concussion training no earlier than July 15 of the upcoming school year;
  • Meet participation requirements; and
  • Have a current physical dated after May 1.

Physicals from previous years are ineligible. Please remember to complete the physical form in its entirety, complete with the required signatures.

Quick reference for Virginia High School League (VHSL) eligibility.

All student-athletes must meet the VHSL academic requirement of passing five classes in the previous semester and must be enrolled in no less than five classes for the current semester.

PWCS academic standards require high school students participating in interscholastic athletics, cheerleading, marching band, and drill team to pass five subjects and earn a "C" or better in two of those five subjects at the end of the first semester and the end of the school year.

PWCS Regulation 721-2 Student Transfers - High School Athletic Eligibility

With the adoption of PWCS Regulation 721-2, changes have been added that impact a student's VHSL eligibility for participation in interscholastic sports at the high school level. Briefly stated, the following excerpts from Regulation 721-2 describe possible impact if a student transfers from one school to another:

  • Once a student establishes eligibility in a high school, any additional transfer requests for designated site programs shall not be considered for a waiver and the student shall be ineligible for 365 days from the date of the transfer.
  • Students who enter the ninth grade through residence or acceptance into a designated site program will establish VHSL eligibility at the school.
  • Once a student establishes eligibility at a high school and the student transfers to another high school for any reason, the student shall be ineligible for 365 days unless there is a corresponding change of address in accordance with VHSL Regulation 28A-7-1.

For full and detailed information, refer to Regulation 721-2.
