high school options

Irish Pride, There are many great public schools in KY. I just reminded or warned another poster though to be very aware of transfer rules. It's a hot topic in KY right now as we just had two schools fined/penalized for using an ineligible player last yr. One in football and one baseball. I'm sure the rules vary slightly from state to state.

do you know what these transfer rules are? what if i was going to repeat a grade? would that change anything? if you are not sure, do you know where i could learn exactly what these rules are?

irishpride, transfer rules do indeed vary from state to state. I can only tell what my state's rules would be. I've sent you a PM about this subject.

Barron Collier High School in Naples, FL has an excellent baseball team and is a great school. The cost of living is higher, but the weather and surroundings are worth every penny.

Here is their website.

did you go to the school yourself? if not how did you learn about it? what was your experience w/ the school? i ask because i noticed that you are from michigan.

iIrishpride-
We moved to Michigan last year. My son was in middle school at the time, so he did not attend the HS. However he worked with several people at camps that were in the program, one of which was a high draft pick for the Marlins in 2002? He also worked privately with one of the coaches, that puts on a excellent hitting camp several times a year. Great program with a lot of support from the school. Many major league players live in and around Naples/Ft. Myers. If you would like to know anymore PM me and I will offer any other info that I can.

If you are looking for a boarding school you may want to look at Rich Hoffmans (Westminster Academy) program or the Pendleton School @ IMG Academy.

cbg-
i know of the pendleton school. what is rich hoffmans (westminster academy)? where is it located?

Irish Pride - I would suggest you and your parents explore the high-school association rules in whatever state you are considering.

I would never try to interpret these rules for you - this is something you certainly don't want to take a person's word for. You need accurate answers. Also, if you are planning on transferring to a school - the athletic director of that school can probably give you some valuable information.

If you're coming Kentucky's way, please PM me if you have questions about any particular school. If I'm familiar I'd be happy to share opinions.

In terms of school work, any of the named schools are going to consist of lots of work. How much often depends on the type of student you are, your study habit and your time management skills. If you put good use of your time, free periods, no tv and very little face book, the load can be managed by many students.

Before anyone gets too deep in responding this thread is from six years ago. The kid is probably in college now.

Maybe he was held back.

Do people hold their kids back for sports?

LOL! Nice catch RJM

Seven years of high school down the drain!

Check out how many Inter-Ac athletes graduate at nineteen. A few years ago a GA baseball player graduated at twenty. He started school a year late and was held back when he entered. It's ok because they're not PIAA members.

Oh, so that's why the Philly papers think the Interac is so competitive!
