It may also affect the eligibility of the school athletic teams. You are prohibited from using any form of alcohol, tobacco or illegal drugs at the playing site of an interscholastic contest. The penalty is disqualification from that contest. All students in grades 7-12 must submit a completed student participation form and pass a physical examination before they may practice for a school sport. Check with your school principal or athletic administrator for the procedure to follow.
Physical examinations are valid for one calendar year.
As a prospective student-athlete, you are expected to accept seriously the responsibility and privilege of representing your school and community while participating in interscholastic athletics. The Ohio High School Athletic Association, of which your school is a voluntary member, has established a sports regulation relative to unsporting conduct that causes an ejection from a contest. Any student ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct or flagrant foul shall be ineligible for all contests for the remainder of that day. If the ejection occurs in the last contest of the season, the student shall be ineligible for the same period of time as stated above in the next sport in which the student participates. A student who is ejected a second time shall be suspended for the remainder of the season in that sport.
