I heard someone say that they could leave a school (v player) and transfer and play for another school in the same year is this correct?:confused:

Must have a legal change of residence. In the past, KHSAA has not seen changing of guardianship as a legal change of residence. Also, in the past, that has not been owning a home in one community and then renting a home in another.

In order to transfer during the season, you would have to physically move. That would also apply to someone who plays v one year and transfers to a new school the next year. In order to do that, you have to physically move - have address in that district. I am sure if someonw wants to do it bad enoough there are ways around that.

Thanks LBBC. When I heard that I did think it was that easy to just switch from one school to another.

http://www.khsaa.org/handbook/bylaws/bylaw6.pdf

Any student who has been enrolled in grades nine (9) through

twelve (12) and has participated in any varsity game in any sport

at any school following enrollment in grade nine (9) and who then

transfers schools shall be ineligible for interscholastic athletics at

any level in any sport for one year from the date of enrollment in

the new school.

The Commissioner has discretion (but is not required) to waive

the period of ineligibility set forth above if one of the following

exceptions has been met.

 

 

a) BONA FIDE CHANGE IN RESIDENCE - If there has been a

bona fi de change in residence by the parents and student that

precedes a student’s change of schools.

For purposes of this bylaw, a bonafi de change of residence means

the moving permanent residence of the entire family of the

student and his/her parents from one school district or defi ned

school attendance area into another school district or defi ned

school attendance area prior to a change in enrollment of the

student. A student who becomes emancipated does not have a

bona fi de change of residence by virtue of his/her emancipation

and change of residence for purposes of this bylaw.

 

c) GUARDIANSHIP/CHANGE OF CUSTODY - The KHSAA shall not

recognize guardianship or similar arrangements made, for

purposes of this bylaw. The Commissioner shall have authority

to waive the provisions of this bylaw where it is shown that

custody of the student has been taken from one or both parents

and given to a third person by a court of competent jurisdiction

and under circumstances indicating: (1) the parent(s) is/are unfi t

or (2) the court fi nds that the health and welfare of the student

would be better served by the change in custody.

Please notice what crazy8's said, too in regards to NEXT YEAR.

This is not true, they can appeal and win, I know a girl in NK she went to a Catholic School transfered to a city School and she did't have to sit out, yes she played V and know not because of money.

Yes you can appeal but it is not a guarentee that you will be cleared.

 

What about a player who was a varisty player one year and does not play the next year (same school) but then wants to transfer the following year to another school. Do they still have to sit out a year at the new school or because they did not play a year, does that cover them to play right away?

I think they can play, I was set back when they let someone play after they played V.

What if the student played V for 1 year started playing the following year, and then there was a custody move from guardian back to her father, after the first game. Could she play for the school district she moved to??
