shukydoohicks 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2009 I know in middle school club teams and school teams compete for the same state championship, is there any club team for highschool or do you have to wrestle for a school to win state. (Ind or team). I relize this is a silly question but I need confirmation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may want to check out the Kentucky High School Athletic Assoc. website and look at the Bylaws. The site is www.khsaa.org. The bylaws go into great detail about eligibility but it is pretty cut and dry that 1) there are no "clubs" and 2) you can only participate in a sport for the high school where you are earning credits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeus 117 Report post Posted September 16, 2009 Just to play devil's advocate and clarify the rule:What if the student is home-schooled? Would it be the district he resides in or...?Any other special situations that could possibly "go-around" the rule such as above that may need clarification?

wrestlewatcher 3 Report post Posted September 16, 2009 I think the bylaws address home schooling. Case 14 under Bylaw 4 specifically states that the athlete must be enrolled full time at the high school or feeder schoolll in the local district. Many cases are presented in the bylaws.

wrestlewatcher 3 Report post Posted September 18, 2009 What exactly is the rule for a school that drops the sport? I cant rememberTo my knowledge there is no special rule for this scenario. If your school drops it, then they are not a member of the KHSAA for that sport, so you are not eligible to participate. You can check out the bylaws and the cases, which I have not done, but I don't think there are exceptions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grappler-of-old 44 Report post Posted September 18, 2009 What exactly is the rule for a school that drops the sport? I cant rememberNo rule in place for this event. Jordan Lewis tried to transfer schools because Ballard was going to drop their team he was found ineligible.You can try 2 things.1. Try to get your team to allow you to compete. Apollo only had 1 wrestler for a couple of years.2. Petition the KHSAA for a school change and maybe transfer schools. As far as I know there are the only 2 options.

Well I feel alot safer with the program for this year but Fort Campbell atheletes I think are given exceptions. I know that by moving off post there are never any issues in transferring eligibility Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
