Athletics at Case

Sports are pretty well recieved and covered by the school, as well as by school media and alumni organizations. Plenty of students will come out for games, especially at big “rival” games and during BlueBash (alumni) Weekend. I’d say about 1/3 of the school is involved in some sort of sport, so many people do follow them, even if they aren’t involved at all (such as myself!).
I believe that this would vary from coach to coach, but there is a strong emphasis at Case on studies-first, and coaches and students work together to make sure that students stay on top of their schoolwork. Students are eligible for (I’m almost positive) 5 free hours of tutoring a week through TutorTrac, an online Case site that matches you up with a student who tutors for your class. As far as I know, there are no study halls like there are in high school though. If you think that your son might need a little extra support, I’m sure talking to his coach might reassure you that he’ll be able to handle the sports as well as his work. Freshman year is hard and an adjustment but everyone figures it out in their own time and does pretty well. Hope this helps!
