How common is it in other places for kids to change schools for a better athletic program? Had two students at our high school just announce they are moving to a nearby school district. Our school is okay at their sport, the other school is a powerhouse. Both will be seniors. I'll be interested to see if either get playing time, but assume they are moving because they think it will give them visibility?

If we don't have rules then we don't have people trying to get around them. In all seriousness, this has been going on for as long my kids have been in grade school. A good friend of mine is a high school coach, and he's been telling me lots of stories and situatons like you've described for a long time. This is nothing new.
