Retired West Des Moines Valley AD Brad Rose explains how Iowa high school transfer rules, open enrollment, waivers and the 90-day eligibility period work, with exceptions for family moves and verified bullying. He also discusses how transfers affect public and parochial schools and why districts sometimes grant immediate eligibility.

The episode also examines small-school challenges when teams can’t field players, co-op solutions, and the importance of keeping decisions student-centered while promoting multi-sport participation and good sportsmanship.
