Question about School not offering a Sport
If a kid went to St. Joe and wanted to play football, can he go to Ironton and play without transferring? South Webster to Minford. Ect.

Re: Question about School not offering a Sport
from ohsaa.org
6. The public school my student attends does not offer a certain sport. Are students who want to play that sport eligible at a different school?
For a 'conventional' public school, NO. Bylaw 4-3-1 indicates that a student must be enrolled and attending full-time to have the privilege of athletic participation. Exception 6 of Bylaw 4-3-1 indicates that there is an exception in accordance with state law. The students who have an opportunity to participate on different school teams in accordance with state law are those who reside in a district and are students who attend the following types of schools: non-public schools, community schools and STEM schools. Students who are home schooled and live in a school district also have an opportunity to participate on those school teams. The language in the state law is not written to include students who attend conventional public schools that do not have a participation opportunity. Remember that the opportunity for non-enrolled students is at the residential public school ONLY, with the two exceptions cited – home educated students and non-public school students.

Re: Question about School not offering a Sport
Thanks for the topic mattash and thanks for the clarification from transplant. I'd always heard that kids from Webster, New Boston, Clay, etc. could go to neighboring districts to play football while remaining at their home school. Doesn't appear to be the case after reading this.*

Re: Question about School not offering a Sport
anytime, I always thought they could too and wondered why more students didn't take advantage of that, but I guess you couldn't after all.
Re: Question about School not offering a Sport
So only in our area St. Joe can go to Ironton to play football. Ohio Valley Christian still exist? Could a kid that goes to Rose Hill play football in Ohio?

Re: Question about School not offering a Sport
In Washington CH , we have Fayette Christian high school. They have not offered soccer or basketball, so there kids have actually played for our HS teams and baseball also while still going to Fayette Christian. This year they offer both sports so they cannot compete for our HS. There is also now a separate Christian school league and playoff system they play in . This is something new I have never seen.
Re: Question about School not offering a Sport
So the Playoff system they compete in is the BCSO Buckeye Christian School Organization . They are the governing body similar to OHSAA for Christian Schools. Here is a link to their rules and bylaws.http://www.bcsoschools.org/uploads/9/7/ ... k_2017.pdfwch125 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 5:50 pm In Washington CH , we have Fayette Christian high school.

Re: Question about School not offering a Sport
Mattash, in your example I think a student attending St. Joe could play football in the district where they reside, not automatically Ironton. If they lived in the Rock Hill district I think they could play for Rock Hill, but not Ironton.

Re: Question about School not offering a Sport
according to the ohsaa, if east is still a "community school" or whatever, then yeah sounds like they would be able to? Seems crazy, but legal.
Re: Question about School not offering a Sport
What all schools in SEO are non public? How is Sciotiville East funded?

Re: Question about School not offering a Sport
You are correct. It is their district of residence. Plus, this isn't just about sports, it includes all extra curricular activities.

Let’s use St. Joe for example. If a student wants to participate in an extra curricular activity which SJ doesn’t have, if he lives in the Ironton School district, he or she may participate at Ironton. If he or she lives in Rock Hill district and goes to SJ, they must participate at Rock Hill, etc. same with Coal Grove students, etc.<br/>
<br/>
As far as extra curricular activities, that depends on your local school and what it offers. Sports is definitely included, probably plays, maybe band, clubs, but the Ohio Revised code does not define specify or define extra curricular activities.</r>

Re: Question about School not offering a Sport
River Valley had a couple or 3 kids on there baseball team that attended Ohio Valley Christian. They lived in the Gallia County school district. I think this was 2-3 years ago.
Re: Question about School not offering a Sport
So how about let's say you live in Ironton and want to play soccer you would to go Rock Hill right? Is that how it works or I am misunderstanding something?

Re: Question about School not offering a Sport
I was wondering this myself.
Was talking to a friend of mine, he was telling me that Valley is going to have a hard time fielding a Jr high football team next year. He said they only have 6 or 7 7th graders this year and there is only 6 or 7 6th graders that play football this year. If that's the case would those kids be able to play somewhere else.

Re: Question about School not offering a Sport
No, a public school student can't play a sport at another school even if their school doesn't offer that sport. Here is the OHSAA bylaw.
Bylaw 4-3-1 states, “All students participating in a school-sponsored sport must be enrolled in and attending full-time in accordance with all duly adopted Board of Education or similar governing board policies of that school.” There are six exceptions to this Bylaw. Exception six (6) refers to state law, and the four categories of students that are covered and have a participation opportunity at the public school in the parents' district of residence are:
Home educated students (students excused from compulsory attendance)
Community school students
STEM school students
Non-public school students
