    • Summit Denali Athletic Program

    At Summit Denali, we deeply value the benefits a sports program brings to our efforts to educate children holistically. Students who participate in sports learn a sense of preparedness for the future. Through sports participation, students develop the self-discipline, motivation, positive character attributes, community spirit and leadership skills that they will need to succeed in building a purposeful life.
    As part of our commitment to the health and well-being of our students, Summit Denali is excited to offer a variety of sports throughout the year for both our middle school and high school level students.

    Thank you to our student athletes and all the parents who support this program with many hours of volunteering. Without you we would not have a program!

    For all sports, contact Denali’s athletics’ leaders at denali@summitps.org.

    Registration

    Parents need to fill out the summit athletic packet and have their student complete a physical by their doctor to be cleared to play sports for Summit. To obtain an athletic packet please, contact the office staff or administration.

    Physicals

    All students must receive a physical examination from a Board Certified Physician prior to entering any sport at Summit Denali.
    This physical examination must include, but is not necessarily limited to:

    • Documentation of a detailed review of the student’s medical history with special attention to presence or absence of cardiovascular/pulmonary risks and/or previous significant injury and rehabilitation there from.
    • Documentation of satisfactory examination of the cardiopulmonary system.
    • Documentation of satisfactory sport‐specific orthopedic screening examination.
    • A written statement by the examiner as to the fitness of the student to undertake the proposed athletic participation, together with suggestions for activity modification if necessary.

    Grade Eligibility Requirements

    ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

    In order to participate in Summit Denali athletics, students MUST meet the following academic eligibility requirements:

    • All past projects are turned in
    • All current projects are up to date (no missing steps)
    • All power focus areas are up to date or “on track”
    • Complete the athletic tracker form daily

    OFF TRACK

    When a student is marked “OFF TRACK”, the student is NOT on track to graduate their current grade level due to incomplete, below average scores, or missing assignments. Students in this situation MUST attend office hours daily until the student is back on track. If a student is “OFF TRACK” for more than two (2) weeks, a student-athlete may be suspended from playing sports at their Mentors’ and Executive Director’s discretion.

    OFFICE HOURS

    Office hours are supervised and assisted homework support rooms, designed to guide students towards getting back on track with academic and peer support. If your student is “OFF TRACK” and REQUIRED to attend office hours, your student will need to:

    • Be present for the entire time
    • Be working productively and making progress
    • Be an active supporter of the learning environment
    • Attend the entire duration of scheduled office hours

    Time Commitment

    All athletes must attend practices and be on-track with the work at Summit Denali.

    Practice days and times will be determined by the administration/coach and will vary depending on game schedules and holidays.

    Athletics Code of Ethics for Parents/Guardians and Athletes

    It is the duty of all concerned with Summit Denali athletics to emphasize the proper ideals of sportsmanship, ethical conduct, and fair play. Athletes and parents/guardians are expected to respect the integrity and judgment of officials, to show courtesy to teams they are competing against, and to recognize that an athletic contest is only a game, the purpose of which is to promote the physical, mental, moral, social, and emotional well-being of the individual athletes.

    Donations, Fundraisers and Volunteering

    Parent involvement is necessary for the success of our sports program. Parents provide transportation to and from practices and competition. We encourage you to reach out to our administration and your team coach to ask what you can do to help support your student and their team. Go Grizzlies!
