LHSAA Hardship Waiver
Posted on 5/20/17 at 3:40 pm
Posted on 5/20/17 at 3:40 pm
What are the chances of getting an LHSAA hardship waiver to play baseball at another high school if your school (Baton Rouge High) doesn't have a baseball team? Can you apply to play at a private school that you previously attended? Would you have to apply to play at the public high school that you would normally attend?

I'm on my phone so I can't really reply in full, but leaving a school because they dont have baseball is not considered a hardship.
A hardship would fall more under the one of relocating because of an abusive parent, or situations at the current school make it impossible to remain there safely.
Anything involving transferring due to sports is going to be turned down.
Now, there are several ways a kid could be immediately eligible.
If he is moving from baton rouge high to private school then he will most likely have to sit out.
If it is his assigned school, or in the same district and the principals both sign off on it then maybe.
If you move out of the school district and change to that school then you would be free to play right away.

It sounds more like he's asking if he stays at his old school but play ball at the new one because they actually have a team.
Like pulling a Tim Tebow minus the homeschooling.

Well, they are some instances where this has happened.
I don't know much about that. I would say speak to the AD of your school.
If you don't find out anything soon I can call a buddy who could probably answer that question.

To clarify the situation. My son currently goes to a private school. He plays baseball there. Next school year he is going to Baton Rouge High as a freshman. BR High does not not have a baseball team. I was asking if we could apply to play baseball at a private school or at the public school in which he would go if not going to Magnet school.

I believe LHSAA rules allow that if the athlete is home schooled he or she is allowed to play for the team in their school district I believe gymnasts who are home schooled or attend day school / gymnastics academies can perform in th estate meet for their home distict school.

Bout 19 years ago I had to move out of the district because I wanted to play basketball at another school in the same district. Wasn't the only reason for leaving but my dad got an apartment in the new district as our primary address. Never had to sit out

Need more info. Just one example, depending on why there is no baseball at the school he attends.
quote:
2. School Closure: In the event a member school closes, discontinues all interscholastic athletic competition, or is suspended from membership in the LHSAA, all students who have been in attendance at the member school for at least the preceding calendar year, shall be eligible at a member school of their choice in the same athletic attendance zone of the school closing or discontinuing athletic competition. If the school closing or discontinuing athletic competition is located outside a student’s athletic attendance zone, the student shall be immediately eligible at the school he/she first attends in his/her athletic attendance zone provided he/she has never attended a member school in that zone. In the latter case, if he/she has attended a member school in his/her athletic attendance zone, he/she shall be immediately eligible only at the member school he/she had first attended in his/her athletic attendance zone. When a school is closed and legally merges with another member school, all students who have been in attendance at the school that closes for at least one calendar year shall be immediately eligible at the latter school.

BR High does not have baseball, football, or basketball. They do participate in other sports. So I am not sure if they are discontinuing athletic competition since they play other sports.

He is. But he also likes to play baseball. Just trying to see if he can go to BR High AND play high school baseball.

Probably not lhsaa, but he can play on the home school team in their league.

It's an LHSAA member school but I'm not sure how that would be handled. I know of students in a Connections program (8th graders who were 2 yrs behind academically) being on one campus that had no sports, being allowed to participate in any sport in the school they were zoned for. All public schools though. I doubt your son will be allowed to play at private school.

And home schoolers can play at schools they are zoned for.

Yeah this is a complicated one. BR High is a member school. They just don't participate in baseball.
Posted on 5/20/17 at 4:55 pm to jflsufan
I don't think he can.
Posted on 5/20/17 at 4:57 pm to jflsufan
I highly doubt either the LHSAA or BRHS would allow this. Even if they did there is no way your son could physically be at practice anyway. BRHS ends at 3:30 while most other high schools end at 2:30.
Practice would start right after school (2:30) but your son would still be in his last class at BRHS. There are 100 other logistical issues as well.

I believe that BRHS gets out at 2:30. My wife doesn't work so she can transport him to practice.
