Expectations

The GLOBE Academy is a charter school, therefore we are responsible for funding our own athletic programs. Parents of our student-athletes are expected to provide transportation to practices/games, pay a team fee of $200-250 or more and provide a sports physical to the school. Each player is expected to attend practices and maintain a B average or higher in each of their classes. Leading by example and having positive influence at school and in the community is expected of our student-athletes.
