Here is a quote from a different - but similar thread. I don't see anything about the team being sanctioned - perhaps someone else can comment on that.
If you do it, the player loses eligibility. A player has only eight semesters (4years) of eligibility. The play will lose one year of eligibilty.
From the OHSAA Bylaws:
Quote:
4-2-3 A student shall become eligible for high school athletics when the student attains the fifteenth birthday before August 1, or when the student attains ninth grade standing. The student is eligible at the school where the student is expected to enroll at the ninth grade level.
Quote:
Section 1. Application of Bylaws and Sports Regulations
1-1-1 The bylaws and sports regulations apply to all participants in interscholastic athletic contests involving students in grades seven through twelve and include matters of eligibility, contracts, qualifications, responsibility and behavior of various personnel.
1-1-2 Students enrolled below the seventh grade are ineligible for participation in interscholastic athletics. Students enrolled in grades 7 or 8 are ineligible for interscholastic competition on the same squad with students in grade 9 or higher. Exception ? A student who attains the age of 15 prior to August 1 is eligible for interscholastic athletics only at the high school level not to exceed eight semesters.
1-1-3 These bylaws cannot be waived, modified or amended by mutual consent between or among contesting schools.
