Homeschool Partnership Program : Students in Grades 8-12 are permitted to register to participate on our athletic teams when vacancies exist .

( Pay-to-play fees are returned in full when there are no vacancies and / or when a student is ineligible .)

Protocol for Selecting Team Members The following guidelines , in sequential order , are to be used when students register to participate on our varsity teams .
1 ) Students must submit complete Athletic Participation Packets in order to be considered for a team . ( Homeschool athletes must first register with CCS through the Homeschool Partnership Program before registering as an athlete .)
2 ) Students who complete the registration process will then be evaluated by the Screening Team for eligibility to play safely on the field . The Screening Team shall be comprised of the Athletic Director , the CCS School Chaplain , and the MCN Pastor ( or his designee ), provided that the individual is not serving as a coach for the team . a . Specific consideration will be given to the risks posed to individual students by playing against mature high school teams . Soccer players will be evaluated in light of competing against co-ed teams and all male teams . b . Students will be evaluated on their physical abilities and their awareness / concentration skills , both of which are necessary to reduce the risk of injury .
3 ) Those full-time students of CCS who are deemed eligible by the Screening Team will be awarded first chance to secure a spot on the roster . Those deemed by the Screening Team as ineligible to compete will not be allowed to play on the CCS varsity team . ( Payto-play fees will be refunded in full when the school makes this decision .)
4 ) If after steps 1-3 have taken place , there are still openings on the team ( as indicated by the team size listed above ), then homeschool students may be considered for the remaining openings . Steps 1-3 will be used to evaluate those students ’ eligibility to play on the CCS varsity team .
