Hypothetical transfer eligibility question.

Sammy is playing for team X this spring in baseball. Team X is eliminated from the district tournament. His parents move the next day to town Y and enroll Sammy at YHS. Is Sammy immediately eligible to play for team Y?

It depends if team X and team Y are both public schools or a private is involved. If both are public and there is a legitimate change of address from one school district to another then he will be eligible. If one or both of the schools is private, then a 20 mile radius will come into effect, even if there is a change of address.

I would assume the rule would apply during the season as well. Very interesting question.

This is from the handbook which bluecollar is referencing 

 

Q. A student transfers to a school because the student’s parents have moved to the community in which the school is located. The student’s scholastic and athletic records are satisfactory. May such a student be allowed to participate pending the approval of his/her transfer by the Executive Director?
A. No. All transfer students must be approved by the Executive Director before being allowed to participate.
 
 
Now, I don't know the specifics but a football player from Oliver Springs transferred to Coalfield after Oliver Springs season had ended and played for Coalfield in the playoffs -- how long did it take to get approved?
 
Here's the short discussion of it on CoachT

No, an athlete is only allowed to participate in a sport for one season during the school calendar year. Several years ago there was one state that played girls soccer in the Fall and a border state that played soccer in the Spring. The girls would play in the Fall at one school and move 5 miles across the state line and play for the other school after Christmas break. This action created the current rule.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
