stealthninja Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Situation:Normal 2-parent family, everybody lives in same household. The son, a 2-sport varsity athlete, is currently a 5A 11th grader who has continuously attended the same 5A Region 2 high school since beginning of 9th grade. Family has continuously resided in that 5A, Region 2 high school's attendance zone since beginning of 9th grade. He's been playing both football and baseball on varsity since 9th grade. Yes, a good athlete! Family is now moving 25 miles away to new high school enrollment zone (4A, Region 3 high school). On April 1,2009, old home will sell and they will move out. Same day they will buy and move into new home inside the 4A, Region 3 high school's enrollment zone. Desire is to commute to and attend old school for remainder of this year and finish varsity baseball season at old school. Then, next August, as a 12th grader, begin attending and playing varsity sports at new school. 1. Can he finish current varsity season at old school while living in new home? 2. Will he be eligible to play varsity football next fall at new school (his senior year)? 3. Must any signatures from any high schools be obtained to get "yes" answers to either #1 or #2? 4. Who's signature's? Old school? New school? Competing district teams at old or new school or both? 5. Where can I find UIL rules that address this?

Guest patriot117 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 http://www.uil.utexas.edu/policy/constitution/08_09subM.pdf Read Section 440 and 442 of the UIL Policy Guidlines. This is often handled different in each district. I know GCCISD has a policy in place that is far more restrictive for athlete's that transfer from one GCCISD school to another. However, they are quick to back down when challenged. The purpose is to eliminate recruiting of athletes. Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
