PARENTAL CONSENT
In order to represent a high school in interscholastic activity
competition, a student must abide by eligibility rules of the Nebraska
School Activities Association. The following is a summary of
these rules. If you do not understand, after reading, the rules
listed below or you need an explanation of other requirements, consult
the high school principal or athletic director.
- Student must be an undergraduate.
- Student must be enrolled in at least twenty hours per week and regular in attendance.
- Student must be enrolled in some high school on or before the 11th school day of the current year.
- Student is ineligible if 19 years of age before August 1st. of current school year.
- After a student’s initial enrollment in grade nine, he/she shall
be ineligible after eight semesters of school membership (applies to
students entering grade nine during or after 1986-87 school year.)
- Student must have been enrolled in school the immediate preceding semester.
- Student must have received twenty semester hours of credit the immediate preceding semester.
- Once the season of an activity begins, a student shall compete
only in the contest which are scheduled by his/her school. Any
other competition will render the student ineligible for a portion of,
or all of, the season in that activity.
- A student shall not participate in activity camps or clinics
during the season of an activity in which he/she is involved, either as
an individual or as a member of a team.
- A student shall not participate on an all-star team while a high school undergraduate.
- A student shall be ineligible for ninety school days to represent
a school in interscholastic competition at the varsity level if the
school is located in a school district other than the district in which
his/her parents maintain their domicile. (Check with school
administrators for an interpretation of rule if the school district
where parents reside has no high school or if there are two or more
high schools in a district.)
- A student shall be ineligible for ninety school days if his/her
parents have changed their domicile to another school district and the
student has remained in former school that is in a different school
district. (EXCEPTION: If parents have moved after school
has started, the student will be eligible to compete for the remainder
of the school year. If parents have moved during the summer which
immediately precedes the school year and the student is in grade twelve
and has attended the high school for two or more years, the student is
eligible for that school year in the school district from which the
parents moved).
- Guardianship does not fulfill the definition of a parent.
If a guardian has been appointed for a student the student is eligible
in the school district where his/her natural parent(s) have their
domicile. Individual situations involving guardianship may be
submitted to the Executive Director for his review and a ruling.
- A student shall not participate in a contest under an assumed name.
- A student must maintain his/her amateur status.
