Transferring Schools

It depends on the classification of the schools and in some cases which sport.
Can you ask a more specific question?

You could petition to have a D1 to D1 transfer ineligibility season waived if there is circumstances that warrants the transfer.

moosecheese,

 

Here is the NCAA Transfer Guide (below) to get you started.  What state the school is located in is irrelevant.  Please read and ask specific questions or give the NCAA a call.  Good luck.

If you are talking public HS, consult the VHSL website.  Depending on the situation, the student-athlete may have to sit one year.

FoxDad,

Thanks for reminding us this is a high school baseball site.  There's so much college talk here, I assumed with no good reason this was a college question.

This is a high school question.  Let me try to be more specific.  He is a rising senior baseball player.  He is at one school for ROTC.  He is considering going back to his home school.  I just spoke with a local high school's athletic director.  He stated that he will need the district to sign off on the move.  Thanks for your help!

I was under the understanding that there had to be a physical move in address otherwise the athlete has to sit out 365.  Then again im not sure as it seems there are different rules based on county's and such, but that is the impression that i get from schools and AD's. 

Zeus - for the most part I believe you are correct.  There might be some "exceptions", but, yes, that seems to be the general rule.

 

Best to consult the VHSL manual.  Just google VHSL.  The VHSL manual can be downloaded in pdf format.

Seems like nothing on this site forever.

 

I'm figuring since this post was August and it is Feb, you have the answer.

 

If the schools were in the same district, the superintendent can sign off on a move especially if he were involved in ROTC at another school and moving back to school that didn't have it.

Just as an update, my son was able to transfer and retain his eligibility, but I would not recommend it for anyone who is considering doing the same.  

Just curious, why wouldn't you recommend it?  Is your son not happy with returning to his home school or does he miss the ROTC at the old school?

I'm guessing that they were forced to jump through a bunch of hoops.  That is me speculating, of course.

Nope, the hoops were easy.  I just see the old boy network as very strong.  He wanted to transfer to get away from ROTC, so he does not miss that at all.

At his new school?  Is he having trouble because he is new to the team as a senior?  Or are you saying that the coach from the ROTC school, networked with his new coach, and as a result, your son is being penalized, not getting playing time, etc.?

The grass is greenest where its watered. 

Which applies to an even playing field, literally and figuratively.
