Report answers to the group
Skin Infections During weigh-ins, the coach presents the

because he/she had turned 19 before July 1st. The team would have to forfeit any game he/she participated.
Amateur.A local golf club has offered to waive the $2500
junior membership fee to an accomplished HS golfer. The player will be entering his senior year in HS. Will his eligibility be jeopardized by accepting this offer, why or why not?

taking 3 classes plus physical education he would be eligible for track, as long as he met all other eligibility standards.
Scrimmage Lincoln’s baseball team wants to scrimmage
three other teams. They will play round robin with each team scrimmaging every other team. They will play 6 outs per 1/2 inning and no umpires will be used. Is this a permissible scrimmage, why or why not?

AnswerShe is eligible in her sophomore year with a
District of Residency Waiver but would be ineligible to participate in her junior year.

HS, where her mom is a math teacher. Before her junior year, the HS eliminates the swim program. She decides to transfer to Sand Beach where her parents reside. Is she eligible to swim at Sand Beach and if so, how?

AnswerNo, according to SED the only person that can clear a
student back to full participation is the School Medical Director. The school should also consider a

Modified A school and league have decided to use ability
as a criteria for organization of their 7th and 8th grade basketball team. A much smaller school, who also organizes by ability has 7th, 8th, and 9th graders and would like to schedule a basketball game. Both AD’s agree that the game would be safe and equitable. Can these two teams compete, why or why not?
AnswerYes, both schools have established the same
criteria for organization. Teams shall practice and compete only against teams that use the same criteria for organization.

Championship finals. Our coach has asked the Boys Volleyball team, whose season is over, to come practice and scrimmage with the team. Is this allowed, why or why not?

use the standards for a scrimmage for baseball. The team could go over maximum number of games for the season, which would make them ineligible.
Practice A basketball team with 8th and 9th graders plays
four 9 minute quarters with the 1st quarter being 8 minutes. There are no 3 pointers counted. Our JV coach wants to have the 9th graders scrimmage his team during Christmas break. Is this allowed, why or why not?
