so if a kid can choose any school that he or she wants for ATHLETIC purposes.....
then can a school DENY any kid they want because the kid is very low academically and does NOT play sports and it will not effect the schools funding?
only seems fair, right?
if they are coming from out of zone, absolutely they can deny the low academic kid. why would you think they couldnt? they already can.

your reasoning is 1 kid should absolutely hate his high school experience or at the very least, not do what he feels is best for him and his future....because he needs to sacrifice for the good of the program and the other kids? Would you do that with your job? someone offers you a better job...are you going to just pass it up because of some loyalty to your co-workers?
This isn't a job. You don't to quit and look for something better. It is about representing your school and playing for your friends you grew up with. Not "This is hard. I need to find something easier". That is all you want. An easier path instead of teaching your kid that sometimes you have to wait and earn you spot in life. Your kids are going to be entitled assholes.

I think we’re heading that direction anyway with the rise of club sports we’re seeing.
Here’s my only concern (not that I disagree with the idea but just a concern) as a teacher and coach at the high school level. Having these sports compete at the school level allows for better synergy between school and athletics and trying to enforce a healthy balance (grade requirements for participation, etc.). I know a lot of schools only loosely enforce those but still, it’s something. I’m already seeing kids have a lot of issues figuring out how to balance extra curriculars with school work. Having clubs take over athletics completely is only going to make that worse I think.
Like I said, overall I think it’s better in the long run for the two to separate. There’s just potential issues I would like to see worked out.
the problem with that is the sport that is at the club level the least is football, which is also the biggest sport
I think all other sports would be fine going to the club model
but again...why can other states manage full school choice and a transfer rule and everything is perfectly fine? How can florida, which is way more competitive handle it but Louisiana cant?
the sky isnt falling, jesus

This is your false equivalency
These are kids. You suck it up and realize its not about you all the time.
It is different for adults, you have a say in your career and when/where you want to work. For these kids you keep mentioning, the parents should have taken that into account when they chose to live where they live.

again....what fricking part of none of these rules have zero affect on me or my kid? zero. So why the frick do you keep bringing it up thinking you fricking know anything about me, my kids or my parenting style. You thinking because i support full on school choice and have since before I was a parent has some affect on how I parent is fricking asinine. Stop with the attacks. yall got mad last time when i insulted back so lets not go down that road, stop with the personal attacks
i get it, you dont agree with me, thats fine
but other states are having a lot of success with this.
and yea you can go look for something better
why should the badass running back at the little 1a school not have the chance to play better competition if that is what he and his parents feel is best? because it hurts adult egos? because the team he is leaving might not be as good....
again, it should be the kid and families choice. Im not going to sit here and pretend I know whats best for each kid or family when i have never met them

How is your kids swing? Still hitting pop flies to oppo side? Probably why you want the choice to go down a level.

exactly but take NIL away and even chance to go to college away
no kid wants to waste their HS playing days sitting on the bench at a bigger school when they could be starting at a smaller school
and before anyone says anything...this does not affect me or my kids at all.

With the new freshman rule, can they go out of parish? Taxes?

Meh they might if you’re trying to win a state championship… you could put that on a college application and they probably won’t ask you how much you played and in what situations

Anyone have a copy of the email ?

People that hate the LHSAA or blame them for every issue, just wait till the legislature gets involved! Yall will be begging for the good ole days.

We have given athletic departments far too much power over academic institutions. I’m starting to think the European model of not having athletics at schools beyond club level teams is the right way to go

if the they are trying to go to approves them to come....yea
all lhsaa said in the brief was
Once you attend a member school as a freshman, no matter where or what, you are fully eligible.
LHSAA does not handle acceptance in to the new school or regulate that in any way. That is all up to the school boards and the schools
When the state gets involved and forces LHSAA to allow 1 time transfer and end the split...it will be same way. Will govern eligibility only.

im sure some kids may tough it out for whatever reason but that doesnt mean they dont want to be out there playing.
and im all for earn your spot, earn your playing time.
but im not gonna tell other families whats best for them
its hard for many posters on here to separate the two. thats why they keep saying i only want this for my kids when my kids are not affected by this in any way at all.

what I want to know is does that apply if a kid is otherwise not supposed to be there?
Yes, the LHSAA doesn't enforce district attendance rules; that is the school district's purview..

And what happens if a zoned public school refuses to enforce its zone?
That is a district issue, not an LHSAA issue.
quote:
My next idea would be a rule where no select school may turn in a nonselect school over kids that don’t live in the zone…
Again, not an LHSAA issue.
And this already happens all the time.

The LHSAA is so dumb. We were getting conflicting information from 3 different high school AD's about eligibility. I sent an email to LHSAA asking for clarification. I didn't mention the schools but did spell out what we were told & the confusion. The response I got - clearly written by an actual person - was to ask the schools for guidance. I went back and forth with them but bottom line: they refused to tell me what their own damn rules were. Completely useless.

The LHSAA generally only responds to schools and not parents. You’d be surprised how many ADs do not know the rules
Posted on 3/3/26 at 1:39 pm to jonboy
Many ADs do not know the finer points of some of the rules. The LHSAA rarely answers to parents.
It’s not that complicated - but I am curious as to why 3 schools are involved.
