Students in grade nine (9), ten (10), eleven (11), or twelve (12) attending a member school in which a desired sport is not offered (school of enrollment), may request authorization to participate from the athletic director at any member school offering the desired sport (school of choice). If the student athlete participates pursuant to this rule, the student and/or school of choice must notify the DCSAA.
The student's school of enrollment will serve as their primary school for athletic participation. If a student wishes to participate in one or more sports that their school of enrollment does not offer, the student must participate in those sports at the same school of choice if all of the sports are offered there. If all of the sports in which the student desires to participate are not offered at the school of choice, the student may participate in those sports at another school of choice.
Students who are not enrolled in a member school but home schooled pursuant to 5-A DCMR §§ 5200 et seq. may participate in interscholastic athletics at a member school if:
Students under this section seeking to participate at another school may only participate if it is allowed in the written policy of the member school in which the student seeks to participate, and the student meets the eligibility requirements of the DCSAA and/or member school. A member school may require actual costs associated with a student's participation and the sending school may be required to provide funding for the costs.
