Eligibility Standards and Support

Athletic eligibility in Bronx schools requires a 2.0 GPA, age under 19, amateur status and a yearly physical exam. Students who fall below grade requirements enter probation with mandatory tutoring.

Students and families can review eligibility rules and team offerings directly through the listed school athletic pages to join programs that match their interests.
