Eligibility questions re. A.H.S.A.A.
St. Michael must abide by the AHSAA "transfer" rules, which are complicated. Here are the relevant rules, but we advise you to talk to our athletic director to clarify your specific situation. 1. If students are enrolled as 8th graders at Christ the King, St. Patrick or St. Benedict they are immediately eligible as 9th graders at St. Michael, regardless of financial aid.
2. Students who enter St. Michael from another AHSAA member school inside of the county, public or private, are ineligible to participate in varsity athletics for one year from the date of enrollment in our school. The AHSAA does allow these transfer students to practice, participate in team activities, and compete on junior varsity and freshman teams.*3.Students who are either homeschooled or attend a nonmember AHSAA school are eligible to participate immediately in athletics at St. Michael provided he/she meets all of the other eligibility requirements. (Exception: Homeschooled students that participated on an AHSAA sports team are ineligible for varsity participation for one year - see #1 above)4.Students who reside in Baldwin County, but are coming from a school outside of Baldwin County to St. Michael, are considered to be “returning to their home school zone” and are eligible immediately for participation. A return to the home school zone can only be done one time.5. Students who have a bona fide move to Baldwin County from another county, in which all principal members of the family reside in the new residence in Baldwin County, will be eligible to participate in athletics at St. Michael.
6. All transfer students (those coming from an AHSAA school outside of our feeder schools of CTK, StB and StP) that receive financial assisisance are ineligible for athletics in their first year of school at St. Michael.
