For contests at North Rockford Middle School, transportation will be provided to the contest only. Athletic events generally start at 4:00 pm. Athletes are required to follow Rockford’s Athletic Training Code. Parents and students should read this information and contact the office with questions or concerns in regards to either the training code or the Athletic Discipline Policy.

Rockford Public Schools require all athletes to have a physical on file before a student may try out or participate in a sport. You may also pick up a physical form in the main office. You must return the completed form, with physician’s approval, to the main office prior to try-outs. All sports physicals must be dated after April 19, 2019 to be valid for this school year.
Each student is required to pay a participation fee in order to participate in athletic activities. The fees are as follows:
Middle School – A Team Sports $90.00 per sport
Middle School – B Team Sports $90.00 per sport
Family Maximum – $350.00 per family
An athlete must pass at least five classes with a minimum of three C’s. Ineligible students will serve a two-week period of athletic ineligibility. If grades have met the standards, the athlete will then be allowed to compete. If the athlete has not attained minimum standards after the initial two-week period, grades will be checked on a weekly basis thereafter to determine eligibility/ineligibility.If ineligibility takes place during the in-season, the athlete must still attend all practices and team functions per the coaching staff.Semester grades (1st and 2nd) take precedent over nine-week grades (2nd and 4th) in determining eligibility.
