I am fascinated by how this works. That a a student can participate in a sport for a school that they do not attend. Does this happen with other sports and activities? In my area, middle and high school end at different times, run different busses and the physical buildings are a few miles apart from each other. After school practices could be logistically challenging.
My niece is going to 10th grade and has cheered for the feeder high school since 7th (1 yr JV, varsity since 8th grade). Practice was at 4:15pm and the middle school let out at 3:40. The schools are less than 2 miles apart and they middle schoolers had to have their own transportation. JV was primarily 7th and 8th grade with less than 5 high schoolers. And in 8th grade she was one of 2 8th graders on V. Most of the parents (moms ) don’t work so they carpooled from the MS to get to the HS time.
This upcoming school year I’ll be coaching JV competition team. Most of my people will be jn 7th and 8th grade. The middle school gets out before the high school and the middle school is literally through a parking lot and across a low traffic street so I assume the kids will walk over
