No-Pass, No-Play Rule: A rule that says if you want to play sports or be in the band at school, you have to keep your grades up. If you don't, you won't be allowed to participate in those activities.
A no-pass, no-play rule is a law in some states that requires students who participate in extracurricular activities, like sports or band, to maintain a certain grade-point average. If they don't meet the minimum requirement, they can't participate in those activities.
For example, let's say a high school student wants to play football. The school has a no-pass, no-play rule that requires students to have at least a 2.0 GPA to participate in sports. If the student's GPA falls below 2.0, they won't be allowed to play football until they bring their grades up.
Another example could be a student who wants to be in the school band. The no-pass, no-play rule might require them to have a 2.5 GPA. If their GPA drops below that, they won't be able to participate in band until they improve their grades.
The no-pass, no-play rule is meant to encourage students to prioritize their academics and maintain good grades while still being able to participate in extracurricular activities they enjoy.
