FALSE!! It’s a parent’s decision to transfer at student..Coach is not poaching
Thanks bro, I guess in that statement I meant we had alot of kids that wanted a ring but didn't put much effort in playing
Sounds like he is bringing some good coordinators with him
Yeah should be exciting can’t wait to watch spring practice and see what is different
You just had to file for a transfer and as long as you can get them there it usually gets approved unless they have attendance issues the year before
I tried to tell people that on here a couple of years ago. One person said that they even went and asked a football coach and the coach said it wasn't true, which I knew it was. As long as you stay in the county, you can go to any school in the county you want as long as it's not over capacity. Been that way for years.
Don't think that's Necessarily the way it is, I know years back to transfer u had to even sit a year out of sports, but think that disappeared years ago.
That is how it works in elementary school because I am an educator in Cleveland County Schools
Oh yeah. You have to fill out paper work and get approved but they very rarely deny transfers unless you have been a attendance problem or if the school you want to go to doesn’t have room in that certain grade level or you don’t have means of transportation.
Yeah I agree they don’t follow that rule at all. I wonder if it is suppose to be the same if a player comes out of county
Doesnt the NCHSAA transfer rule change come into play? The rules were changed several years ago with the 1 time allow to change schools without a physical move and immediately play sports after entering 9th grade or the start of a high school practice. You could get a second transfer and immediately play if you have an actual physical move.
I've always been told the nchsaa doesn't really get too involved with eligibility issues that they usually leave it up to the county boards
Shelby player tried to transfer to Crest last year was denied and told he had to sit 365.. I think kid ended up going to Stuart Cramer..obviously his paperwork and residency thinks where in question so it doesn’t always work out..
I do not know first hand knowledge of this particular one but you can't specifically say you are going to another school as a transfer to play a sport. If you say anything about wanting to switch to play a sport, that triggers the 365. Switch for classes offered, easier for guardian to arrange drop off or pick up from work or even just to get away from hanging with the wrong crowd at old school, you are good to go as long as school isn't over capacity.
Kid was very transparent, told them it was a football move, and was denied. Good player, too. Sub 4.4 40, 10.9 100 meters. I’m sure he will end up on a college roster as a db, or could easily go for track as a sprinter, rising senior.
I blame it on the parents. It's more important to win a state championship then to stay committed to your friends and community. What lessons are being taught here?
I figured, because most transfers are not denied in the county because all the high schools are under capacity.
Yea man I mean it’s true. As far as kids leaving or any schools recruiting kids idk.
Some moves are for a genuine reason besides championships. I personally took my kid to another school for better coaching and more like minded teammates. I had paid for years to attend a certain school in Cleveland County because I was out of county. Switched to the charter school in Shelby going into 6th grade(trust me when I say that school will never hurt Cleveland County athletes unless a County school has archery). Kids team won a state championship in the charters sport association Pinnacle was a part of in 9th grade and then made the move to SC to where KM new coach came from in its 1st year open. Best decision ever. Very competitive teams with teammates with the same goal of playing next level. Top notch coaching and academics were excellent. Kids team had the 2nd highest GPA in the country for thier sport.
Listen, I'm sure there are some that are legit. But let's be honest here, most of them are moving to play for a better team or opportunities. Especially, if the 6-7 players transferring from Shelby are true, do you think all of them, all of a sudden need to move? I don't think so.
Totally agree. It's about the opportunity, moving or not moving. I wasnt saying they moved for family reasons, classes or something like that. I see it as sports related like most,but if it's within the rules, I am ok with it personally.
That 365 rule only applied to one transfer from Burns to Crest years ago. No other school has been held to that rule period.
