I know of at least 3 cases in the past 12 months where the residence of a softball player was questioned, or the transfer was deemed for athletic purposes. In two of the cases, there was no penalty and the kid transferred and played after 15 days, (required when the transfer happens during the school year), in the other, the kid left her original school at semester, but coaches from within the athletic district questioned the validity of the transfer, basically saying it was only for athletic purposes. The kid moved in with grandma who was in another school district, but for all appearances sake, it was for athletic purposes, the kid wanted to play and wasn't at the orignal school. Since it was challenged, the kid had to play JV the year she transferred and was allowed to play varsity the following year.
