14 Del. Admin. Code § 1029-3.0
The purpose of the transfer rule is to deter students from transferring schools for athletic advantage, to help discourage recruitment, and to reduce the opportunity for undue influence to be exerted by persons who seek to benefit from a student's athletic talent. Transfers strictly for athletic reasons undermine the stability of sports programs, elevate athletics over academics, lead to disparities in competitiveness, and erode the level playing field that the DIAA seeks to foster. This rule is designed to discourage transfers for athletic reasons, multiple transfers, and transfers after a sports season has begun, by imposing defined periods of ineligibility for those who transfer after the 1 allowable period.
