1.13.3:
Transfers within the athletic attendance zone. If at any time a student transfers from one member school to another member school in the same attendance zone, the student shall become immediately ineligible for a period of one calendar year from the date of enrollment/attendance in the second school. The student may be eligible at his/her school of first choice in the attendance zone. A transfer student will be ineligible for a period of one calendar year at the new school unless he/she transfers under one of the following exceptions:
1. Majority to minority transfer as written into a federal court desegregation order.
2. Transfers from academically unacceptable schools pursuant to the Louisiana school and district accountability system.
3. Homeless students as defined by the Federal McKinney-Vento Act that go through the hardship appeal process and are approved through the Hardship Program.
4. Non-Member schools. A student who has been attending a non-member school, may be immediately eligible at the LHSAA school of his/her first choice should he/she elect to attend an LHSAA school in his/her athletic attendance zone.
5. School Closure/suspension. In the event a member school closes or is suspended from membership in the LHSAA, all students who have been in attendance at the member school for at least the preceding calendar year may be eligible at a member school of their choice in the same athletic attendance zone of the school closing. When a school is closed and legally merges with another member school, all students who have been in attendance at the school that closes for at least one calendar year may be immediately eligible at the latter school.
6. New Member schools. A student who has already attended a member school in that athletic attendance zone may be granted a new option when a "new" member school is added to that athletic attendance zone. This choice shall be afforded only at the beginning of the first year the "new" school is in operation in the atletic attendance zone.

Do you know why newly built schools are ineligible to play in post season athletics for their first 1-2 years? |

I don't know the reasoning, but I believe every school that applies for LHSAA membership sits out of official Varsity competition for the first year. |

Southside had to play JV for one year for sure Ascension Parish just announced that 10th, 11th, and 12th grade will have the choice to stay at their current school instead of having to switch to the new High School when it's built. |

I don't know the reasoning, but I believe every school that applies for LHSAA membership sits out of official Varsity competition for the first year. I actually heard something yesterday from some parents, which could be complete nonsense. They said the rule has been in place for a long time because of football. Coaches wanted to keep the school ineligible for a year because they didn't want to train players and them have them switch schools to compete against their former players and teammates. Again, there may be no truth to this. |

I think the JV thing has to do with whether the school has seniors or not. I think Southside started out as freshman and sophomores only and they couldn’t play varsity for 2 years until the sophomores became seniors. That’s what I remember a parent telling me but not sure that was accurate.

That’s what I remember a parent telling me but not sure that was accurate. I do remember that Southside started with ONLY incoming Freshman & Sophomores. Prairieville High will have students from all 4 grades, but I have a feeling that most students who are playing varsity sports will stay at their school. |

Again, there may be no truth to this. Not sure that the fear of losing players is necessarily why but it would be understandable. The big problem is that football schedules their games with 2 year contracts (home/away) after each alignment comes out. If a school opened in the second year of the LHSAA alignment and wanted to play varsity football, they would have difficulty finding opponents to play as everyone would have their schedule set for the upcoming year as it would be the second year of the contract. But, this wouldn't stop them from going varsity in all sports except football in this situation. |

Lakeshore also started with only freshmen and sophomores when it opened in the fall of 2009. They only played JV until their first senior class began in the fall of 2011. And there was no option for students to remain at Fontainebleau if you lived in the Lakeshore district, unless you had special dispensation from the school board. Seems like I remember a volleyball player a few years ago who transferred from Northlake Christian to Fontainebleau (same attendance zone) for senior year because a parent lost their job and the family's financial situation changed. She was not allowed to play at Fontainebleau, even after appealing to LHSAA. |

And I still wonder if the decision to not allow her to play would have been different had Fontainebleau not been one of the top volleyball programs in the state at that time (they were state champions in 2011). |
