Important Terms
Participation
• When a student-athlete sets foot on the playing
surface, score is being kept officially, there are
officials/refs during competition, and game counts
toward the official record/post season play. This
burns 1 season of eligibility, even if it was for a
matter of 1 play or a few seconds. Scrimmages do
not count.
Redshirt
• A student who is enrolling full-time at a school but
does not play a whole academic year for the
purpose of saving a season. A redshirt does not play
in any college game or in any given sport for an
entire academic year, even though he/she is
eligible.
Important Terms
Greyshirt
• Someone who enrolls “part-time” at a school
and does not play the first semester for the
purpose of saving a season and doesn’t
trigger the Division eligibility clock
Medical Redshirt

during competition before a specific time
period during the season and is out for the
rest of the season. The trainer and doctor
