If your athlete attended a traditional public or private school between K-8 then they should be classified with respect to the grade at which the athlete attended the school. To classify an athlete using the “traditional school method” the school must have been an accredited entity with the state of Texas (so Co-ops and micro schools do not count).
If an athlete is currently homeschooled then you need to follow these guidelines for the 2024-2025 season.
If your athletes did not obtain an age exemption before they became a varsity athlete they CAN NOT apply for an exemption after the fact. For example, if an athlete turned 14 years old before the season and did not apply for an exemption, the athlete would be classified as a Sophomore when entering play the following year.
Eligibility requirements only apply to High School and Middle School athletes that compete in TAIAO. For example, an organization that only participates in TAIAO Football does not have to comply with eligibility rules for athletes which play a sport like soccer in a different league.
It is important to remember that an athlete who starts his or her varsity participation in any sport (regardless of the league) will not be granted more than four years of eligibility in TAIAO without an exemption. This means middle school athletes that compete in varsity sports in other leagues will need to apply for an exemption if they want to participate in a TAIAO varsity sport and not lose a year of eligibility.
TAIAO has policies restricting athlete transfers to maintain fair competition, prevent recruiting, and to uphold the integrity of the sport.
These policies aim to discourage organizations from gaining a competitive advantage by acquiring talented athletes from other organizations, ensuring a level playing field for all participants. Furthermore, it prevents athletes from cherry picking the sports they want to play in with different organizations.
Transfer restrictions also promote loyalty and commitment to a particular team, fostering a sense of continuity and team cohesion.
Overall, these policies contribute to the overall fairness, stability, and ethical standards within the athletic community.
Subchapter H of TAIAO’s General Rules govern transfers. Please familiarize yourself with them before engaging in the process. The process requires a co-signed document (sent from TAIAO) which requires the signatures of the Parent Curr,ent Coach / AD, the New Coach / AD as well as the TAIAO Commissioner
Homeshool organizations please read: It is written in the General Rules:
Home school students, by nature, have more options to affiliate with multiple organizations in respect to their athletic and academic objectives. Home school students are strongly encouraged to NOT transfer from one Member Organization to another for the purpose of gaining a competitive advantage in any given contest, event or activity.
An affiliation with another Member Organization involving any contest, event or activity shall be viewed as at least a “limited transfer” for that student. For example, if a student played baseball at Member Organization A and now desires to play football at Member Organization B; the student would need to submit a transfer request for Member Organization B from Member Organization A.
There are two types of transfers: (1) from one TAIAO organization to another (2) Non-TAIAO transfers which encompass athletes coming from a public or private / homeschool team. You need to use the links below to fill out the correct form.
NON TAIAO TRANSFER FORM
Important Note: You must file a transfer form for any new Sophomore-Senior athlete in your program. You do not need to file a form for a freshman. Be sure when accepting any student that they are in age appropriate grades (see eligibility rules above) or apply for an exemption.
A finalized roster containing all High School athletes (all means JV and Varsity) is due in Max Preps by Sept 1st. Middle School and Varsity rosters must be submitted to TAIAO which include the DOB of all athletes. Both High School and Middle School are required to submit DOB rosters to TAIAO. Teams who miss the TAIAO roster deadline will not be eligible to participate in postseason play.
You can upload rosters to MaxPreps and TAIAO using the links below:
