Sport Eligibility
CRATER SPORTS ELIGIBILITY
It is necessary to be on “Blue Card” status to play a fall, winter, or spring sport. This tells the coaches that the athlete is clear to practice sports. The athlete may not practice/participate until this paperwork is cleared at the Crater Athletic office.
To compete it must be determined that the athlete meets the academic requirements of the school, district, and state (O.S.A.A.) as stated in the Code of Conduct.
To receive blue card status
The athlete must present the following completed and signed forms to the Crater Athletic Office.
- Code of Conduct – Done each school year before sport practice begins
- Physical/medical history form – (double sided)
Physical: good for 2 years – Must use OSAA FORM ONLY
Medical History: Required each school year before sport practice begins - Emergency-Medical-Insurance form: Completed each school year before sport practice begins
- A copy of the family insurance card: Completed each school year before sport practice begins (Valid proof that athlete is insured) School insurance is available. Football insurance is separate from other sports.

Crater Athletic Eligibility System change:
In addition to the “on track to graduate” credit requirements for athletic eligibility, according to OSAA rule 8.1.1, athletes must also be “a full time student who is one that is enrolled in high school, attending regularly and passing” the required number of courses.
To better ensure that Crater High School is meeting the rule 8.1.1 requirement, we are implementing target dates in addition to end of term grades for checking academic eligibility with a one week opportunity for students to prove they are passing the required number of courses. After that week they will be ineligible until they can show they are passing. Responsibility will lie with the student to bring documentation to the athletic office from their teachers to show that they are eligible.
Our school operates on quarter grading periods, the dates below will be used for eligibility purposes on our campus.
