Jumper_Dad Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 What are the rules as far as age and when birthdays fall when it comes to determining the eligibility of an highschool athlete in KY?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockPride Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I believe that you can not turn 20 before Aug 1st...or somewhere very close to that after your senior year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon_slayer Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I was thinking it was 19 after August 1. Turning 19 before August 1 is ineligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Bylaw 3. Age Pursuant to KRS 156.070 (2) (e), a student who becomes nineteen (19) years old before August 1 shall be ineligible for interscholastic athletic competition. A student who becomes nineteen (19) on or after August 1 shall remain eligible for the entire school year. The Board of Control and the Commissioner may not adopt administrative procedures that allow for waiver of this rule under any condition. (Case situations related to this bylaw appear on pages 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have been confused with Ohio, in Ohio the age is 20 by August 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cshs81 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 You might have been confused with Ohio, in Ohio the age is 20 by August 1. Ohio has the same rule as KY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Ohio has the same rule as KY. I thought Ohio was 20 by Aug 1, maybe it was just rumor, but some kids have transferred from our area to schools in Ohio supposedly because they were going to be to old to play their senior year.

Ram Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Must be a rumor. Sorry that I questioned you, you were correct. Ohio Section 2. Age Limitation 4-2-1 If a student enrolled in high school attains the age of 19 before August 1, the student shall be ineligible to participate in high school interscholastic athletics for the school year commencing in that calendar year.

cshs81 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I would be surprised if any state lets a kid older than 19 in August or therabouts play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird23 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I guess that rules me out of competition. I was just getting into shape too. Thought if I could work out just a few more weeks I would have e'nuf endurance to be able to at least run out and get the T after kick-offs.
