“Sorry your kid didn’t get recruited by Spalding” I see this response by many of their fans.
I have to ask. How does it feel to be recruited to Spalding? Only to have your coaches recruiting players from other high schools because they now know you aren’t good enough?
Spalding coaches didn’t wait long after losing to start contacting other HS rising juniors and seniors. Pretty pathetic to offer full tuition to bump your kid off the field. Are the coaches really that good if they can’t coach up what they have? The
bench looked full of players.
Your boys better continue to hit the wall or they will continue to sit on the bench, if they get all the players they have already contacted.
Must be reaching out to public school kids. Can’t transfer from one miaa school to other without sitting out a year
depends on the reason for the transfer. Two good 2020 attackmen transferred to St. Paul going into their Junior year. A player from Calvert Hall and Gerstel. The Gerstel player was allowed to play his junior year, the Calvert Hall kids had to sit. I think the kid from Gerstel may have changed his home residence, and was granted a waiver to play his junior year.
GCS players transferred to St Marys and MSJ and were allowed to play because they did not play an MIAA fall sport for GCS before they transferred.
From the MIAA Transfer Guidelines:
A transfer student is one who changes enrollment from one school to another. Participation, in regards to any transfer policy, is defined as practicing or scrimmaging during the regular season, beginning with the 1st practice date or playing in any interscholastic competition. Please read the transfer policy guidelines below. If you have any questions, please call the league office at 410-544-XXXX
A transfer student who changes schools during the school year and has participated in interscholastic athletics at any level at his former school is ineligible to participate in interscholastic activities for the remainder of that school year. Additionally, that student, if he or she was a varsity athlete at their previous school, is ineligible for participation in that (those) sport(s) for one calendar year from the date of enrollment. A student athlete who is by definition a varsity athlete at a member school may not become eligible to participate at another member school in the next academic year by enrolling in a non-member school for a period of less that one full academic year. Further, a students’ eligibility to participate is based on his/her participation for the prior year only. A student who plays on a varsity team during one year and does not participate in the year prior to transfer, will be eligible to play provided all other transfer criteria are met. Please refer to the definition of a “varsity athlete” which is addressed later in this form.
A transfer student who migrates from one member school to another and was a varsity athlete at his / her previous school is ineligible to participate in that sport at the new school for one calendar year beginning with the first date of enrollment at the new school. If that student was an undersquad athlete (freshman or junior varsity) a his previous school, he /she may transfer without penalty unless transferring under stipulations in paragraph I.
Given the statement that eligibility is based on prior year participation only it sounds like the GCS kids who transferred should not have been allowed to play since most of them were varsity athletes in the prior year?
