FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AMENDMENT TO THE TRANSFER RULE

PREAMBLE

The general body Inter Secondary Schools Sports Association has voted to amend the eligibility rules as it relate to the transfer of students from one member school to another.

AMMENDMENTS

A. Transferred students will not be allowed to participate if transferred amongst member schools more than once.

B. School teams will have a limit placed on the number of transferred students (a quota) that will be allowed to be registered for various ISSA run competitions. The quota will be applicable to students who change member school between 1st and 6th form (Grades 7-13)

Each student will only be regarded as part of the receiving school’s quota for a competition if they had previously registered with another member school for the said sport for which he / she is being registered.

The quotas to be applied for each sport is as follows

Football, Cricket and Hockey 3 players

Netball, Volleyball, Basketball 2 players

Swimming, Table Tennis 1 player

Athletics 2 athletes per class

The quota is applicable for each age group competition in each sport.

Each time a transferred student/athlete is registered to compete for the receiving school he /she will be regarded as part of the school’s quota irrespective of the length of time since the transfer was completed.

For the purpose of the quota rule, the transfer rule will apply only to student-athletes previously registered to participate for another ISSA member school.   Therefore, students transferred from another member school but was never involved in ISSA Sports at their previous school will not be regarded as part of the quota system.   Neither will students who transfer from non-member schools.   Students, whose previous schools are not entered to participate in the specific ISSA competition in the year the quota is being applied, should be exempted.

Students who move from one member school to another as of January 1, 2019 will be subject to the quota system for all ISSA Competitions with effect January 1, 2020.
