Riverview student-athletes wishing to participate in sports programs at St. Stephen Catholic School must meet specific eligibility requirements, which include submitting mandatory forms and maintaining academic and conduct standards. The school recently outlined these criteria for all students.

To participate, students must have a Sports Physical, a Concussion Form, and a Diocesan Release Form completed and on file in the school office. These documents ensure students are medically cleared and adhere to diocesan guidelines for athletic involvement.

Beyond documentation, St. Stephen Catholic School requires student-athletes to maintain a passing grade in all subjects.
