JO’s BLOCK CLUB is one of the longest-serving of its kind in the province. The BLOCK CLUB’s focus includes participation in the school’s athletics program, exemplifying leadership and positive citizenship, fostering school spirit, and providing service and support to the overall JO Athletics Program. JO Block Club members are student-athletes, as well as officials, managers, and coaches.

A JO student is automatically enrolled in the BLOCK CLUB when they participate on one of the school’s sports teams, or provides volunteerism and service through activities like the Officials Club or assisting as a manager or student-coach on a team. In other words, ALL JO student-athletes, managers, and officials are members of the BLOCK CLUB.

When the following levels of points are achieved, students receive their JO BLOCKS:
– 5 points: Small Block
– 10 points: Big Block
– 13 points: Big Block 1
– 16 points: Big Block 2
– 19 points: Big Block 3
* special pins (Gold, Silver, and Commemoratives) are also awarded to those students at graduation who have provided exemplary service to the BLOCK CLUB and John Oliver Athletics

One (1) point is awarded for participating on a recognized school sports team.

Partial points are awarded for service in the Officials Club (up to 1 full point per 4+ games worked per season) and/or managing a team (0.5 to 1 full point), at the discretion of the Officials Club Sponsor, team coach/sponsor, and/or Athletic Director.
