Students acquire athletic points by participating in extracurricular teams.  Each student may be awarded a maximum of six points for his/her participation on each team by the coach/sponsor.  Therefore, a student must play on a minimum of 10 teams and receive maximum points to achieve the BIG BLOCK CLUB STATUS.  The Big Block Club sweatshirts will be awarded at the Athletic Banquet.
