Jason Ingraham (Sp) to Greenbrier Christian... no he did not transfer to GCA.

Ingraham is still at GF.

IR - What is your point to this?? If their parents want it to be know, let them post it. From what RB said, looks like your info is wrong anyways...There are many reasons why kids end up at other schools and I'm sure they don't consult with you..

I think he is trying to figure out if anyone else transferred. Here are the ones I know:

LHP Jones to Kellam from Lake Taylor
OF Shane Tew transferred TO Hickory and should make an impact
(no Hickory transfers out this year...that should stabilize with Kraft there)

How do you transfer to another school and be able to play a sport at the new school without sitting out a year? I would guess you would have to move into the other school's district?

golfball, that is correct.

Jones moved from Norfolk to Va Beach. Tew moved to Chesapeake from TX, I think.

sorry if im wrong about ingraham.and i wo\as just wondering who was transferring.

Smith Bb,

Very interesting. Is that a VHSL rule or is that specific to your district? Also, is that for baseball only or for ALL varsity sports?

Thanks.

Thats a tough loss for IR. Solid player. Tremendous speed.

Mathews41.........any other SED updates? Why Clemmons leave IR? Kid can play. He has 6.7 speed.

No idea why he left. But he should bloom wherever he is planted. No other SED update.

I didn't think your question warranted a public scolding; don't think you need to apologize. Players get talked about all over these boards by people other than their parents all the time.

Leland's decision is a personal one. I will not disclose it here.

I believe the confusion comes in due to the cause for transfer. If the parents move residences, then the player is eligible immediately for all sports.

Here are the exact VHSL transfer rules (from the policy manual):

28-6-1 (1) TRANSFER RULE/Move Requirement (1-71):
A student who moves from one school to another with no move on the part of his parents is ineligible. This student can become eligible immediately when his parents move to the zone served by the student’s new school.

28-6-1 (2) TRANSFER RULE/State Event Qualifier (5-94):
Students who transfer to another VHSL school after qualifying to the state tournament are not allowed to participate in cross country, wrestling, indoor and outdoor track/field, tennis, golf, gymnastics, forensics and debate; parents or students may request a hardship based on the circumstances for the move.

28-6-2 (6) TRANSFER RULE/Foreign Student (3-93):
A foreign student who is not under any foreign exchange program and who transfers to a VHSL school in January is not eligible for spring sports, unless the parents move into the school’s zone.

I'm not sure where the "2nd move" rule comes in... whether it's a VHSL or Southeastern district thing (like the 2.0). But I know a few years back at one SED school a senior player moved to another school in the district so that he could start at QB in the fall (he had lost the starting job at his original school), then transferred back to graduate at the school he had attended all along but was ineligible to play baseball in the spring.

Also ... Nick Michaud (C/1B) from Indian River moved to Missouri over the summer. Michaud came up big for River in '09 as a Junior, especially in their win over Western Branch (2 HRs in the game)... as a potential All-District talent, he will be missed as well.

well im sorry if im wrong.but i just want to make sure about transfers because of this past team i want to keep track of i know i cant keep a whole roster.but i want to keep track of players on each team at least the best players on each team.i know predictions arent too easy but like western branch going to the state semifinals and like great bridge always good and nasemond river i think will be good this year.

New note:SED goes to a 6 team district tournament.

SmithBb - Many thanks. Most of these rules make perfect sense.

Can anyone confirm this?

Leland Clemmons transfer to Portsmouth Christian was the aspiration of his parents. There is nothing personal towards any person, any place or anything.

Parents have become smart (or at least they think so) by getting their eighth grader or ninth grader to a school district so they can get in a system, right? Alot of transfers happen around that time, unless there are public to private transfers--our school got two ninth grade transfers this year who will contribute on Varsity, but we lost one to a public school also. We moved our son to a private school for the opportunity to play Varsity a little sooner. His school played eight public schools last year and played a total of 30 high school games--more than public can play.

FYI, that Portsmouth Christian team looks great this fall.

If Portsmouth Christian is playing the same teams that Nansemond River is playing this fall (they're on our schedule) then you would have to agree that the competition level has been much closer to that of spring JV than Varsity.

I would agree with your last statement on the quality in the fall. They still should be a good team in the spring in the private school ranks.

The fall should be this way... The fall should be instructional and should give coaches a means to evaluate. Hickory is a good example: they have split their fall players into three groups to maximize playing time for every player. I would imagine the Hickory coaches are not as interested in what fans think as they are in evaluating their players.

I think you've described exactly how the fall is treated at most, if not all, schools.
