Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 38, September 20, 2024

10.1. During a WVSSAC established sport season and while a member of a WVSSAC school team, a student may participate in, including but not limited to, showcases, clinics/camps, tryouts, fund-raising activities, and similar activities (hereafter "events") in the same sport outside of the WVSSAC school team activities, however, the student may not compete for a non-WVSSAC school, team, club, or similar structured organization in their formally organized competition/contest/match/game/practice in the same sport. For the identified non-WVSSAC events which are allowed during the sport season, approval for participation shall be obtained from the student's WVSSAC school/principal. The WVSSAC school/principal shall have discretion in approving the requested approval, but such shall not be unreasonably withheld. If approved the principal/school may set reasonable limitations therein for all matters which reasonably conflict with the WVSSAC school's practice and game/contest schedule including all regular and post season events taking into consideration that the WVSSAC sport season competition/contest/match/game/practices have priority over the non-WVSSAC school participation request.
