Kids are already not mandated to go to any specific school. If they want to make an athletics move, why do you have to wait until high school when there will be a material change for all the kids that get left behind? Do it in 8th or 9th grade.
Here's a more likely scenario: small school develops talent and is putting together a good run for a year or two. Sally Striker and Suzy goalkeeper have turned into strong candidates that could get playing time at the 5A school across town and leave their teammates high and dry senior year. So you really punish the kids ego are left behind who didn't do anything wrong the coaches that developed the talent don't get to enjoy the fruits of their labor, and now a whole team is worse off.
You obviously never have invested in a program before to understand, but sometimes something is bigger than you. When you commit to a team and leave your teammates just because you can, it says a lot about you. It'll tear relationships and friendships apart. The funny thing is there's no guarantee that athlete will get developed like they would at the small school, but parents don't have the depth of understanding on that level because they don't see what the coaches see. There's probably just as many athletic careers derailed from transfers as improved.

I agree that this is not good, but my point is more about the underclass students who can play varsity. Let them transfer out of district if they want before their Junior season. A kid who bails on his or her team for their senior year is probably pretty rare and typically not one you'd want on your team anyway.

I have, but most high school athletes wouldn't leave a good program that is fully invested in proper development. If the program is not fully invested or at least invested enough in the athlete's development, I think the teammates and all involved would understand a transfer.

What if the team/program isn't committed to you? What does the athlete do then?

At least they had the option and made their own choices.

I don’t know of a single Northshore school voting in favor of this.
No no no...Northshore parents that send their kids to the Catholic League.

That is the rarer circumstance. Most transfers occur because the kid isn’t playing as much, there is a disagreement with the coaches, or the kid was cut.
The transfers we see with high end athletes are usually from a poorly run program to a better run program but, again, that’s a lower instance than above.

There are worse things in life than not being allowed to play varsity as a freshman,
It doesn't say you can't play, you just have to play JV or Freshman ball.
The LHSAA governs more sports than just football. A lot for sports don’t have JV/Freshmen competition because of lack of numbers - especially in the lower classes.

Seems like a more than fair trade off for someone who chooses to attend a school out of attendance zone.
Over half the schools in the LHSAA don’t operate under an attendance zone for admissions. It’s a relic of the past. That is my major issue with the current rules - the law and the local school board says a student can attend school X for high school but a minority of schools still operate under an archaic system, so we remove that student’s athletic eligibility for doing something completely legal and accepted.

The majority of high school coaches don’t make nearly enough to be tasked with trying to keep a roster together in the offseason.

It’s probably not hard if no one else wants who you have

frick the LHSAA. Had to waste a year of high school when I transferred back in the day

The rules are easy to follow. I lost 2, my parents thought they could get around rules. That’s not LHSAAs fault. That’s the rule in damned near every state

I didn’t think they’d have the convention so close to Mardi Gras when a lot of principals and administrators are still out of town

What they may want to look into is changing “select” and “nonselect” into “zoned” and “nonzoned”…
I know it would be painful for some schools as it could increase travel, but why not Select and NonSelect Districts.
It is asenine for Districts/Divisions/Classifcations to not match up in playoffs. Also, none of this 4A District, but you have to play in Division I while the other school in your same district gets to play in Division II.
In the past I have thought that Classifications and/or Divisions should have some sort of participation rate tied to their classification and sport.
You have some 1,500 student schools who can barely field a football team, while you have a 600 student school with over 100 kids on the football roster.
Another idea is maybe to put roster limits on the number of playable kids per sport. For example, the NFL has 53 man roster and you have some practice spots.
Also maybe have some minimums for teams, if you have a less than 40 kids participating in football, maybe you cannot participate unless you get your numbers up or you play down with schools that have fewer than 40 kids playing football.

We took the first step to ending that at last years convention… now only 5A will be D1 and I’m assuming soon only 1A will be D4. Naturally we’re going to eliminate class 3A soon and divide them between Divisions II and III

Because that travel would be way too much some places. It works well to combine select and nonselect for district play because it’s just the regular season and not really what teams are playing for in the playoffs

You never want to do anything that encourages schools to cut kids (and schools will do that too)
