I'll try to keep my question as simple as possible here.

If a student athlete at private school 1 in 9th grade runs varsity cross country and then would transfer after this school year to private school 2 in another parish for his 10th grade year.

Can you run cross country and play baseball at private school 2 for his 10th grade year?

Hope that is understandable and thanks for any feed back I might get.

Based on my limited understanding of the rules I believe he would have to move into school 2 zone.

RESIDENCE AND TRANSFER

If student attends a school outside of his/her "Home Attendance Zone," he/she is automatically ineligible for one year unless he/she meets the provisions of the Residence and Transfer Rule.

As long as you do a legal move into the district, you should be eligible. Just don’t say you’re moving for athletics. That’ll get you a 1 year ban. I’ve seen it several times where a kid moves in, they ask why, he says to win a championship, and they’re ruled ineligible.

Unless they actually live in School 2's attendance zone they will have to sit out. To move in that zone and be eligible it will have to meet the criteria for a bona-fide move.


BONA FIDE CHANGE OF RESIDENCE - Under the residence and school transfers rule, a bona fide change of
residence (move in good faith) shall occur when a student’s parent(s)/guardian, or another household he/she has
been residing with for at least the past calendar year, abandons their former home as a residence and makes a
permanent move into a home that is their sole residence in another school district/attendance zone. The LHSAA
shall conduct only one investigation of a bona fide change of residence for a student. A change of residence shall
be made with the intent that it is permanent. Determination of what constitutes a bona fide change of residence
depends upon the facts of each case, but in order for a change of residence to be considered bona fide, each of the
following facts shall exist:

1. Under no circumstances can a family have two legal residences for eligibility purposes under the bona fide change
of residence rule.

2. The original residence shall be abandoned as a residence. It shall be either sold, in the process of being sold, rented
or disposed of as a residence.

3. It shall not be used as a residence by any relative of the student.

4. If the original residence is not in the process of being openly advertised for sale or rent, the family shall have the
utilities disconnected in this residence.

5. All personal belongings, household goods, and furniture, appropriate to the circumstances shall be removed from
the residence, unless the original residence is rented furnished and a legal lease agreement shall state exact
furniture/items to remain in the residence.

6. The mailing address shall be changed and the telephone shall be disconnected from the previous residence.

Ask the athletic director at school 2. They should know the zones and transfer rules as well as anyone on here.
