Reading this thread is crazy.
I know nothing about high school athletics, but here's my solution.
1) if a small school wants to be in a higher class, you must go all the way to 5A. No cherry picking.
2) and, all your sports will be in 5A should you play up. Deal with it!
3) recruit all you want, but parents must move for the student athlete to be eligible , no simply jumping from the public school to the private school
4) if the student cannot move, then he must sit out a year
5) a student becomes Uneligable to play high school sports the day he turns 19. Before that date, play all you want.

How about the 1A schools who want to play up to 2A because they will spend less money on travel with a closer district or a team who wants to stay with a traditional group of rivals etc. You would force them to play to 5A?

Also, you already have to live in the district to be eligible. Do you know of kids who don't live in the district playing their first year? From what I know of, that usually only happens with some public schools.

Youre rule would also mean a kid who was playing baseball his senior year and turns 19 in april cant play the playoffs?

Please stay away from high school sports.
