A comprehensive points-based program that rewards players for excellence across academics, athletics, service, and leadership. Champions are built year-round — not just on Friday nights.
How Points Are Earned
Points accumulate across six categories. Every action counts. Every category matters.
GPA is evaluated each grading period. Points are awarded based on cumulative GPA tier. Strive for Tier 1 every single marking period.
Attendance in the weight room is tracked daily. Student-athletes in winter or spring sports are excused and receive the same points during their season.
Includes Vertical Raise, card sales, and all other program fundraisers. Points are based on your contribution tier. Every dollar raised helps the program.
Physicals must be submitted on time to earn points. Deadline is firm — preparedness and responsibility are part of the standard here.
Hawks give back. Participation in approved community service events earns points. Multiple events mean multiple opportunities to earn.
Attend or participate in Bethel Park High School sporting events and school activities. Show up for your school community — not just your team.
Guest speakers, leadership training sessions, and team-building activities all count. Champions lead before they're asked to.
Points are tracked cumulatively throughout the year across all seven categories. Players who accumulate the highest point totals are formally recognized through the Champions Club at the end-of-season program. This system is designed to reward the complete student-athlete — one who performs in the classroom, in the weight room, in the community, and on the field. Every category is an opportunity. Champions find a way to earn in all of them.
