The Alabama High School Athletic Association took a step to further regulate transfers in high school athletics.

The association announced on Thursday that the Central Board of Control has approved the launch of a task force to investigate non-complaint transfers after a unanimous vote among its members.

AHSAA executive director Heath Harmon will work with a committee that includes principals, coaches, athletic directors and superintendents across the state of Alabama.

Among those speaking of the concerns at the meeting and presenting data were Mountain Brook football coach Chris Yeager and Alma Bryant coach Bart Sessions.

“As I travel across the state to district meetings and other AHSAA events, it is clear that the issue of non-complaint transfers of student-athletes are one of our association’s biggest concerns,” Harmon said in a release. “I am proud the Central Board is setting up a Task Force. It’s not just an issue in our state. It is an issue all across the nation.”

Among the immediate changes came in the ratification of Proposal 19, which requires AHSAA schools to identify and mark all athletes who transfer to the school. Proposal 11 was also ratified, which pertains to the out-of-season transfer rule and how quickly students are eligible to play sports at their next school, but the council tabled the proposal until “ambiguous language” could be addressed.
