Age Cut-off for High School

[Jumper_Dad]

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:

I believe that you can not turn 20 before Aug 1st...or somewhere very close to that after your senior year.

[dragon_slayer]

I was thinking it was 19 after August 1. Turning 19 before August 1 is ineligible.

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

That's right...I was confused for a bit...Tony Driver graduated in 1997, I in 1995....he is three weeks older than me.

You might have been confused with Ohio, in Ohio the age is 20 by August 1.

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.

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]

I would be surprised if any state lets a kid older than 19 in August or therabouts play.

Please. No need to apologize.

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.

This affected one of my good friends by 1 DAY!!!! He was devastated when the new bill didn't pass to bump back the date.
