In addition, we want to ensure they adequately
address our issues as they pertain to our diverse
membership as well as to the changing climate in
education and the philosophical shift.

policies in any of these areas or others that are more

Additional caveat
Transfer Policy (possible combination with NonTraditional Schools Committee)
A student transferring from a member school to another
member school within the same LEA must sit out 365 days for
athletic participation. The LEA may create criteria for
immediate athletic eligibility for transfers within the LEA.
A student transferring from a member school in one LEA to
another member public school in another LEA must sit out 365
days for athletic participation. Exceptions for immediate
athletic eligibility for transfers from one LEA to another would
be heard by a special NCHSAA Transfer Committee.

NCHSAA Board of Directors established Summer
Dead Periods for the following weeks over the
summer:
◦ July 1st – July 7th, 2013
◦ July 22nd – July 28th, 2013

Definition & Interpretation
◦ Sent to all Athletic Directors in January
 During the “Summer Dead Periods” no NCHSAA member
school-sponsored activities may be organized or conducted
by any NCHSAA coach or school staff member (whether fulltime, part-time, or volunteer) that involve students at
NCHSAA member schools.

School-sponsored activities include any of the
following (i.e. these activities MAY NOT be done):
◦ Activities, other than Third-Party Outings and Bona Fide
Competitions (both as defined below), conducted (1) at any
NCHSAA member school; or (2) at any location if the activity
is organized or controlled by an NCHSAA member school,
coach or staff member (whether full-time, part-time or
volunteer) (e.g., summer skills development or camps, open
facilities, conditioning exercises, laps around the school
track, etc.);
◦ Activities at any location where attendance by students is
deemed mandatory, whether actual or perceived (e.g.,
coach organizes an event away from school property and
states, suggests or implies in any way that any students not
attending will suffer consequences of any kind … whether
this means making a team, enjoying playing time,
becoming team captain, etc.);

Examples of activities that would be considered “nonschool-sponsored activities” and MAY be done:
◦ Third-Party Outings: Coach or staff member takes students
to a third-party camp at a non-NCHSAA member school
(e.g., college-sponsored summer skills or team camp, etc.)
where attendance by students is NOT deemed mandatory,
whether actual or perceived (as described above);
◦ Bona Fide Competitions: An organized league is conducted
through a bona fide third party organization where (1) the
organization purchases appropriate liability insurance and
pays for all game-related expenses (e.g., facilities, staffing,
etc.); (2) students are not required to attend or participate;
(3) student transportation is not provided by NCHSAA
member school vehicles; and (4) students use their own
equipment
