Is this the future of HS sports? Players joining teams as playoffs start? I have no issue with a kid transferring, but according to the al.com article he is eligible 2 days after enrolling? Is this really what's the best for kids?
Can anyone else think of an example of a kid playing for two schools in the same season? For some reason i thought there was a specific rule against that. The only examples i could think of involve kids moving in from out of state like when Katrina happened.
I can't think of an example of it happening but it is within the rules if it meets the "Bona Fide Move Rule" which states...
- A bona fide move occurs when a student's parents move completely out of one school attendance zone into another.
- Guidelines for determining a bona fide move include:
- The household furniture of the family must be moved into an unoccupied house of apartment.
- All principal members of the family must reside in the new place of residence.
- The original residence must be closed, rented or disposed of and not used by the family.
- Nine months at the new residence will be required to make a move bona fide.
- A transfer student whose parents make a bona fide move is eligible at the member school that serves the area where his/her parents reside if all other requirements are met.
- If the family making the bona fide move remains at the new residence for less than nine months, the student becomes ineligible there on the day the family leaves the attendance zone of the new school.
