Virginia High School League Eligibility Information
Adoption of Prince William County Public Schools Regulation 721-2
With the adoption of the new PWCS Regulation 721-2, changes have been added that impact a student’s Virginia High School League 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:
· Students who enter the ninth grade through residence or acceptance into a designated site program will establish Virginia High School League (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 the VHSL
Regulation 28-6-1.
· 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.
For full and detailed information, refer to Policies and Regulations on the PWCS website, reference Regulation 721-2. Click here for quick reference of Regulation 721-2.
All high schools and middle schools are in the process of scheduling Concussion Presentations for parents and students according to PWCS Policy 759. School presentations and times will be posted on the ATHLETICS web page as they become available. Check individual school websites frequently for updated sessions and times.
Other concussion resources for parents, students, teachers and community are also listed on the ATHLETICS web page.
Prince William County Public Schools are proud to implement a Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program
What is a comprehensive school physical activity program (CSPAP)? A CSPAP is an approach by which school districts and schools utilize all opportunities for school-based physical activity to develop physically educated students who participate in the nationally-recommended 60+ minutes of physical activity each day and develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to be physically active for a lifetime.
The five components of a CSPAP are:
- Physical Education
- Physical Activity During School
- Physical Activity Before and After School
- Staff Involvement
- Family and Community Involvement: The Let's Move in School – PTA/PTO Toolkit is designed to assess the level of physical education/activity currently provided by the school. Parent Teacher Associations (PTA) or Parent Teacher Organizations (PTO) members are encouraged to use the toolkit to create awareness of the benefits of a Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program (CSPAP)
