.......across all leagues. Mandatory, no exceptions. No, the kid's Dad can't become an Assistant Coach.

While I see the wisdom of how this would avoid some of the abuses we see in the system......it would also hurt kids who legitimately move districts or change from public to private (or vice versa) for legitimate reasons. Basically, with a rising senior a family move would result in the end his sports career and I can’t say I am good with that. There would have to be exceptions.....but again I get it....where there are exceptions there will be shannigans.
In criminal justice the theory is that it is better to guess let 10 “guilty men” go free to lock up (or lock out in this case) 1 “innocent man”. I guess this is similar here.....for me anyway. My 2 cents

Agree, there must be real, measurable, tangible, provable exceptions. Kid's dad can't become an assistant coach (like SGA did a few years back). Kid can't "live with his auntee" whose address just miraculously is nearer to the new school than his home address is near the old school, and on and on. These "loopholes" were never checked and policed by either GISA or GICAA/GAPPS and so it becomes a game of hide the pea. Can't have an address with a mailbox at a vacant lot where the new home is supposedly located (yes, it's happened). Otherwise don't have the rules, just make it every man for himself. Get all you can and can all you get.
These things are enforceable if the league really wants to do it. Not to mention some coaches have the moral and ethical backbone to manage it themselves. I know that Coach Lowe of DWS did this a few years back. Kid had to sit out a full year in all sports. No hesitation.

Westwood had a kid move in with immediate family, closer to westwood than the current school. Kid's gisa school filed an appeal. Gisa ruled that even with a change of address, kid would have to sit. So yes, the gisa "enforces" rules evenly.
