CIF-SOUTHERN SECTION
Governing Body for all high school athletics within the Southern Section boundaries (nearly 600 high schools). The CIF-SS Blue Book is a manual that contains the Constitution and Bylaws for any student-athlete who participates in an interscholastic contest; the CIF-SS Blue Book can be downloaded @cifss.org.
CIF Transfer Eligibility (Bylaw 207): An athlete who transfers after the 9th grade from one high school to another high school. The following are the two (2) most common situations involving transfer student-athletes:
| 1. | Bonafide Change of Address: Entire family moves from Attendance Area of High School A to Attendance Area of High School B. |
| 2. | Transfer Prior to First Day of 10th Grade: Student can transfer from one high school to another without moving as long as it is before the first day of the third consecutive semester of attendance (typically prior to Sophomore year). |
There are many other reasons for transferring schools with some resulting in unrestricted eligibility, some that result in limited eligibility, and others that may require a CIF Hardship (Bylaw 208) to gain eligibility. Please keep in mind, any transfer that is a direct result of disciplinary action will result in a student being ineligible for athletics for a period of one year.
Important!! All transfers must submit CIF FORM 510 (Pre-Enrollment Contact Affidavit) as well as CIF FORM 207 (Athletic Transfer Eligibility) to the CIF-SS Office for approval before determining eligibility. These forms must be signed by all parties involved in the student/athletes transfer – Parent, Student-Athlete, former School Officials, and current School Officials.
