Athletic and Activity Eligibility

Eligibility for Participation in Activities and Athletics

As a member of the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA), Cherry Hill West adheres to the association’s eligibility rules for participation in both athletics and activities.

An incoming freshman has no credit requirements for the fall and winter seasons. However, to be eligible to participate in the spring season, a student must be passing at least 13.75 credits for the first semester (based on mid-year average).

Sophomores, juniors, and seniors are eligible to participate in athletics and activities during the fall and winter seasons if they passed 27.5 credits during the preceding academic year. To be eligible in the spring, a student must be passing 13.75 credits at the conclusion of the first semester.

Additionally, athletes become ineligible for high school athletics if they turn eighteen years of age prior to September 1.
