Need help.

I was asked about a player from another school transfering to another one would they be allowed to play spring sports(baseball) if they are playing football now and they play basketball also. I told them that I think that they could not play baseball because they play at another school during that year is this correct. Then some else said that they could if they are enrolled by the first of the year so help me if you can so I can tell them, I gave them the phone number to KHSAA but I do not know if they called them due to all the things that has happened.

If they played on the varsity level and changed schools without a physical change of address, they would have to sit out a year.

You are ineligible for 1 year of your transfer date. Example; John Doe played varsity ball for Team A and transfered to Team B on September 18, 2008. He will Not be eligible until September 18, 2009. That is how the sit out one year applies (from the date of transfer, not the sport played).

Only if the kid played a Varsity sport. If the kid never played a varsity sport it doesn't matter.

That is what I said.

Bylaw 6. Transfer Rule

Sec. 1) Domestic Students

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. Determinations of whether a student

shall be granted a waiver pursuant to this rule shall be based on

the circumstances existing as of the date of enrollment at the new

school. The KHSAA shall not recognize as grounds for a waiver of

the period of ineligibility an argument that the educational needs

of the transferring students would be better served through a

transfer.

The bottom line with this type of question is that it is a very easy answer. Call the KHSAA office. No one else should even bother to answer noe should their answer be taken. Transfers is a sticky thing and it all KHSAA.
