My son played his freshman year at a Calif. JC. He played in 6 of the teams 36 games. Before the end of the season (16 games remaining )he quit the team because he felt the coach wasn't giving him a fair shot. Now he is looking to play for a NJCAA school, but was hoping to not lose his freshman year of eligibility. How, who do we need to contact to try to erase that year from his eligibility. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All collegiate sponsoring organizations, including CCCAA, NJCAA, NCAA Divisions 1,2,3, and NAIA have basically the same rule: If a player enters into even a single game, he uses a season of competition.

The only way to "erase" a season of competition is by hardship waiver. Getting a waiver requires substantial documentation of a incapacitating injury or illness that occurred part way through the season, or in some instances (family bankruptcy, etc.) of withdrawal from school.

Probably more than half of collegiate baseball players have consumed at least one season of competition while playing very little. Of course it is frustrating, but I don't think there is any possibility of waiver in your situation.

Nor should there be any possibility of any wavier for the player in the OP....he played in almost 20% of the teams games....and has no declarable hardship...
