Student athletes should be aware of the MHSAA regulations involving “Schools of Choice” transfer.  A new sport-specific transfer rule has been adopted and took effect the 2019-20 school year.  The revised rule means a transfer student has

• No eligibility for the upcoming season in a spot actually played the previous season in that sport at the student’s former high school during the most recent previous school year. (Unless one of the 15 MHSAA exceptions apply).
• A student would be eligible in sports they did not participate in during the previous or current school year.

Students’ sport participation during the 2023-24 school year will determine their eligibility for 2024-25 should they transfer schools and not meet one of the 15 stated exceptions.  This rule applies to high school students GRADES 9-12 only.
