- Transfer with Club Coach or Previous Coach (1800.6)
A student
transferring
or moving for any reason to a new
school where the student’s non-school coach is also a coach
of the school team, is considered to be attending for athletic
purposes. The student, as a result of this transfer, will be
ineligible for varsity competition for one calendar year from
the date of the transfer in any sport(s) they participated in
during the twelve months prior to the transfer. If a student
transfers to a school where his/her previous coach is a coach
of the current school team, that move will be deemed
motivated by athletic consideration.
As used in this Rule, the coach may be a former school coach
or non-school coach and the term “coach” includes any
person who coaches,
volunteers (regardless
of compensation)
or assists in any capacity with the coaching or training of the
school or non-school team.
- General Transfer Information (1800)
It is the student’s responsibility to know the CHSAA Transfer
Rule and how it affects that student’s eligibility. The CHSAA
Commissioner
may grant
exceptions
to this rule in unusual
cases. Only schools may submit a waiver. If a waiver of the
transfer rule is requested, the student is not eligible until the
waiver is approved by the CHSAA Commissioner.
Transfer cases involving separation and/or divorce
proceedings should be reviewed with the school
administration.
15. Awards (2010)
Individuals participating
in any
interscholastic
athletic/activity
sponsored and/or approved by the Association shall not
accept cash or
merchandise
awards. Awards must
be symbolic
in nature with no functional or intrinsic value with a cost of
no more than $50.00.
16. Amateur (2000)
If a student
participates
in a CHSAA approved sport, in other
than CHSAA
competition,
his/her amateur status is
determined by the rules of the amateur governing body of
that sport. Amateur status of Colorado high school athletes
applies only to sports sanctioned by the CHSAA.
17. Bullying & Hazing (1710.2)
The Colorado High School Activities
Association,
in
conjunction with its member school, prohibits bullying,
hazing, intimidation or threats. Hazing includes humiliation
tactics, forced social isolation, verbal or emotional abuse,
forced or excessive
consumption
of food or liquids, or any
activity that requires a student to engage in illegal activity. I
understand that hazing of any type is not permitted in any
CHSAA sanctioned activity. I will not engage in any of the
prohibited conduct. I further understand that it is my
responsibility
to immediately report any acts of hazing that I
become aware of to a sponsor, teacher, counselor, school
support staff, coach or
administrator
in my school.
After reviewing the above
information,

bylaws. For more
