LHSAA transfer rules?
Posted on 7/28/23 at 12:53 pm

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.

Yeah that is why I asked the question like I did. It's very confusing.
So student A is out of zone so to speak right now because he is going to a private catholic school that's currently not in his parish. Private school 2 is in a completely different parish then private school 1.
So it's my understanding they would have to move to private school 2's parish for student A to transfer?
Can he transfer before this school year starts or is he considered enroll already at private school 1 because he went there last year even if the school year hasn't started yet?
Man this is so confusing

Not necessarily parish, but attendance zone (unless it is an open enrollment parish, then things change)

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.

Yeah that much I have gathered so far. Don't mention sports at all for your reason for transferring.

I seem to remember a clusterfrick in girls basketball a few years ago where some girl transferred into Vanderbilt Catholic and, some years later, moved then was declared retroactively ineligible during the middle of the playoffs.
I don’t remember the reasoning for why moving AFTER the transfer fricked with her eligibility.

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.

This might be a dumb question but even private schools have attendance zones? I thought any kid from any parish can go to any private or catholic school?

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

How is this possible if there are more public high schools than private in the same geography?
The LHSAA has even changed the eligibility for incoming freshmen in private schools. In Lafayette, for example, a Catholic school freshman is now only eligible for varsity sports if they come from a feeder middle school for that high school. It’s complete BS because Lafayette has school of choice so a public middle school kid can go to a high school out of their area.
In prior years, eligibility was granted for any freshman coming from any Catholic middle school after filling out a specific form, but this year, there are no exceptions. The change wasn’t publicized at all, so some coaches didn’t even know much less parents.
The LHSAA sucks.

Private schools have attendance zones in the eyes of the LHSAA for eligibility purposes. It is the public school whose zone is where the private school is located.

The horror, your freshmen son might not be able to play varsity football. How will he ever get that college scholarship without playing varsity as a freshman? Playing JV ball is beneath so many of these freshmen.

For the purposes of the LHSAA, the private school's attendance zone is the attendance zone of the public school in which the private school sits.

Nope.

I don't see how that matters at all.

That actually may no longer be true. That rule was changed last January.

Even those public schools have attendance zones, though. Open enrollment parishes now operate like private schools in terms of attendance zone eligibility.

That isn't official yet.

The change was voted on and passed by the principals in January and published with the rest of the changes a few weeks later.

The problem isn't football, basketball, or baseball.
It's sports like Cross Country, Swimming, Tennis, etc. where there is little to no subvarsity competition.

And one real problem is, if a family is truly in it for a Catholic education and their kids have always attended Catholic schools, why does it matter where they live?
Why do they have to live in a shite hole neighborhood and pay tuition if their kid wants to swim at Catholic High?
