Commitment Sports require a huge commitment of your time. Practices will last 2 or more hours a day. Game days involve late night commitments. Time management is critical to keep up with school work. Most sports have summer programs.

P.E. Credit and Sports Everyone must have 2 years or 4 semesters of P.E. credit. Sports counts towards P.E. credit. Each season of sport counts as ½ a semester. If you stay in the 7th period class for the remainder of the semester you will get a full semester of P.E. credit. You can earn all of your P.E. requirements through sports.
