The Georgia High School Association currently allows students to transfer within "service areas" in some cases without affecting their athletic eligibility. This policy has spawned charges of recruiting and unfair play. We, the undersigned, believe adopting the Alabama High School Athletic Association's transfer policy would help remedy this issue. Their policy stipulates that a student must wait a year after a transfer to compete athletically within "service areas." Their transfer policy can be found at www.ahsaa.com.

If you believe changing the GHSA policy to the AHSAA policy is a good idea, please sign this petition and it will be forwarded to the GHSA for their consideration.

Sick of watching kids jump schools just to win a ring. The current policy is a joke and everyone knows it.

Fix this now. Tired of seeing local talent getting pushed out by transfers.

Finally someone is calling this out. Recruiters are ruining high school sports. It should be about the kids and their neighborhood schools not building a super team.

AHSAA has the right idea. GHSA needs to wake up and stop acting like they dont see what is happening right in front of them.

My son works his tail off for his spot and then some kid transfers in from across town and takes it. No way that is fair.

Total BS. Schools are basically becoming minor league teams and its pathetic.
