Is a player eligible to play freshman ball if they enroll at a school that is not one of their high schools feeder schools and they did not have a change of address?

 

 

I know there are some new rules that affect middle school athletics and they go into effect this year, but I am not real familiar with them.

Unless I missed it, he would be eligible.

Ok thanks. I looked but it wasn't very clear when they spoke of feeder schools.

I think some districts have agreements between the publics and privates about situations like these, so it might be a deal where there is no KHSAA rule, but maybe there is a district one.

If you're talking about a kid being in EIGHTH grade and wanting to 'play-up' to a HS Frosh team, I'm almost positive he/she has to be in a middle school that's considered a "feeder" to that HS.

Not sure about other school district, but with Fayette Co you sure can. A student- athlete can go to a school that is not a feeder from middle to HS. ie ( Tates Creek can enroll at Lafayette ) for their engineering or band specialty. As far as public middle school to a private HS or vice versa, they can play freshman and JV only. It's a public/ private agreement here in Fayette Co. which make no sense. Let they pick which HS to attend. Why punish a student- athlete by attending a school.

What?? There are actually transfer rules in KY? When did these go into effect?

Here's the actual agreement itself and what you can and can't do:

 

FCPS & LCA Athletics Agreement - Lexington Catholic, Lexington Kentucky

I was close enough...

Note that this agreement does not cover all private schools in Fayette County, nor does it cover moves between LCA and LexCath. It ONLY covers moves with FCPS at one end of the road and LCA or LexCath at the other end.

I thought the KHSAA rule across the board state wide was, that if you participated in Varsity sports (ie: not Frosh or JV) at a High School as an 8th grader (or lower I presume?) and you decide to attend a different High School your Frosh year- that you were ineligible to play in that sport for a full year.

That might be the rule but I believe you can't play varsity football (or soccer) until you are a Frosh

How long ago did that change? Just the first example that jumps to my mind is Dennis Johnson who was playing Varsity for Harrodsburg in the 7th grade. Or that was the legend anyway.

I think that rule was put in place in the mid 80's, maybe around '86 or so.

I know they have considered this in the past but I do not recall it passing.
