Public v Private never comes into consideration.

 

Thanks Clyde. I didn't think so but I knew a kid that transfered from a private school to a public school and was declared eligable immediatley on a "hardship" case. I understood that one with todays economy and all, but didn't know if there was any argument for the reverse. Couldn't think of any so thought I would ask the question.

It's asked a lot. KHSAA members are KHSAA members - public or private.

Yes they did change.

Really curious to hear if this girl is eligible this year. Just do not see how it can occur, "special circumstances" or not. From all I have read there is an issue with the softball coaches in regards to the position being played on the field as well as what appears to be some personality conflicts between the parents/player and the coaches. Obviously there is probably more to the story that we are not always privy to, but I just do not see how the KHSAA makes this player eligible.

Lots of loopholes to circumvent the transfer rules. KHSAA really needs to wise up, because right now, it's way to easy to jump ship.

There is FAR more to the story than what you have heard. The position she played was NEVER the issue. She gets her looks by colleges in the summer, minimal if any during HS except at state tourney. So since she is multiple position player, we even told the coach at the beginning of the year if they needed her somewhere else then put her there. She just wanted to make it back to state.

What about when the kid doesn't want to have to transfer but because of his/her well being it has to be done? They need to wise up there or maybe it's another group that should wise up.....

My opionion would be if it's sports related (diagreement with coaches, not playing the correct position, playing time, hard nosed coach, etc), then the penalty should apply.

 

If it's off the court/field (bullied, disrepected, verbal abuse, etc), then a player should be allowed to transfer without penalty.

 

School are there for education purposes, not a pleasant high school athletic experience. Now I'm sure they want the best overall experience for their students and sports is a part of that, however, the rules should still apply, with some "special circumstances" that are outside of just sports.

 

I have no idea what the reason is, just stating what I would feel would be allowable "special circumstances".

SoftballFan , there is plenty of precedent for a special circumstances transfer waiver here. I encourage you to do a little research.

Those "special circumstances" listed in your opinion for transfer approval can occur on the court/field also. But I am in agreement 100% on reasons above on why transfer should be approved or not approved.

Just my opinion but I think a player should have sit out no matter what the circumstances may be. Making the right decision in the best interest of a child is always the right thing to do but that should come with all of the responsibilities in making that decision. I understand that there seems to have been some disagreements between coaches and player/parents but it should not come at the expense of all the other kids at every other school who in some instances does not chose to leave the school dispite the challenges. I wish this young lady the best of luck in the future but in my opinion she should not be allowed to compete for one year based on the rules. That of course is based on this thread stating she is leaving Ryle. It does seem to me that Ryle continues to lose players, if Iam not mistaken this will be 4 out of 5 years a player or players chose to leave this program??????

Thanks jolmstead, research already done. It'll be in the hands of the KHSAA to determine her eligibility.

Areed, but a coach should be held responsible for that and it should be escalated through the channels before a kid gets to a transfer situation. If those things are going on inside the sport, then it should go to the highest level possible and get it in front of decision makers.

 

I obviously don't know all the details, you might have tried that option. But in general, it shouldn't be "easy" for a kid to transfer because of disagreements with a coach or athletic department.

I disagree that a player should sit for any circumstance. What if a parent is relocated and they have no choice but to move? I don’t think a child should have to sit out for this but in your opinion they should, why?

I believe the rules allow a player to play under those circumstances, I just think the rules should be followed by all. If the parent moved then they should be able to play ,
