NMAA Bylaw 6.4 (Open Enrollment Choice) states “An eighth grade student who
participates in high school athletics, at any level of competition, will make his/her open
enrollment choice at the eighth grade level. 8th grade students not already attending the institution they will be
participating for must participate at their home attendance zone public high school.”
Athletic Directors must ensure compliance with 8th grade participation residency requirements
and submit this form to
the NMAA, with indicated signatures, prior to the eighth grade student participating at
the high school level. Eighth grade students are ineligible to participate at the high school
level until the NMAA has confirmed receipt of this form.
