If a seventh or eighth grade student has reached the chronological age for senior high school, is he/she required to go through the Selection/Classification process?
If a student in grade seven or grade eight is 15 years old prior to September 1, they are eligible to participate on high school teams without going through the Selection/Classification screening procedure. Only medical approval is required. The reason that these students are eligible for high school teams is because they are already at an advanced age and will lose some of their four years of high school eligibility due to over age if not allowed eligibility.
