Scholastics Program

The Smithfield Packers Youth Sports scholastics program uses the preceding year report card for calculations (example, for the fall 2020 season the student-athlete 2019-2020 academic year program report card will be used).

All grades will be converted to numeric form and tabulated. Academic teams are broken down as follows:

First Team: 96.0% and above
Second Team: 95.9% and below (12-student athletes)
Third Team: The next 12 student-athletes
Honorable mention: The remaining student-athletes above 90%

Historically all scholastic recipients have received a certificate, with the academic first team receiving a plaque noting their accomplishment and grade point average.

PYFCO guidelines / Academic All-Stars Program
Academic All-Stars Awards: In recognition of their academic success, all participants of PYFCO who meet the eligibility requirements as identified in these by-laws, will receive an Academic All-Star Award. This award is a patch for the football players and a pin for cheerleaders. A committee consisting of representatives from each league and one PYFCO Board member as the Chairperson will determine which participants have met the eligibility requirements. The report card for the final marking period of the previous school year (includes kindergartners) will be utilized to determine Academic All-Star recipients. Only core subjects will be considered - Reading, English, Spelling, Math, Social Studies, Science, Language Arts, History and Foreign Languages. (NOTE: Not all schools consider Computer Classes a "core" subject. Please only count if it is considered a core subject for child's school.) If a subject is not listed above, then the league Academic All-star representative can ask the PYFCO Academic All-star Chairperson for a decision on whether or not the subject can be included in the calculation for the award.

All participants MUST meet the PYFCO basic age requirement of being 6 years old by September 30th of the current year in order to be eligible for this award.

A - 4
B - 3
C - 2
D - 1
F - 0

To get the average, add up the number of points for each subject that is counted and then divide the total by the number of classes counted.

You get .3 for a "+" (B+ = 3.3). You get -.3 for a "-" (B- = 2.7). For an A+, a 4 is still awarded.

For kids in grades without letter grades, the code on the report card is utilized - Top level is a 4, Next level is a 3, and so on (example - Outstanding, 1 or "on grade level" = 4, Satisfactory, 2 or "consistently demonstrates" = 3, Needs Improvement, 3 or "below grade level" = 2).

All core subjects will be counted - Reading, English, Spelling, Math, Social Studies, Science, Language Arts, History and Foreign Languages. (NOTE: Not all schools consider Computer Classes a "core" subject. Please only count if it is considered a core subject for child's school.) We do not count Physical Education, Art, Drama, Band, or Choir. If a subject isn't on the list, then the league Academic All-star representative can ask the PYFCO Academic All-star Chairperson for a decision on whether or not the subject can be included in the calculation for the award.
