There are many factors that can influence how a school recruits and how a recruit may select a school. Roster limitations, roster needs, the availability of players at a position, and the tools that a player may have can all factor into why a player and school may, or may not, fit with one another. In the quest to manage a roster or manage a recruitment period, there has been a rise in the number of players reclassifying their graduation year. The reasons can vary as to why a player may reclass, but there are rules that must be followed. Show Players can reclassify up a year, graduating early, and enrolling into a school prior to their scheduled date. Players can also reclassify down a year, delaying their enrollment and allowing for more time in their recruitment period. In my time as a recruiting coordinator, players that reclassed down a year, taking a fifth year of high school, came with a red flag. Staff meetings, meetings with academic coordinators, and even speaking with our athletic directors came with the question “why”, or “what is wrong”. Flash forward just a few years and coaches are seeing more and more good students, and good baseball players, take the extra year. The questions are still asked and explored, but more often than not, coaches do not balk when they hear a player has reclassed. Academic Rules This article is only available to PBRPlus Subscribers.

A reclass year can mean a lot to a student-athlete. It can mean the difference between starting on the high school varsity team or playing on the junior varsity team with minimum minutes. It can mean the difference between going Division I or II on an athletic scholarship or having to pay for college. The physical and monetary investment can be the best investment ever for your child.  “It’s not because a kid is not doing well in school or is too young for his grade. It’s just because you’ll be one year older in high school and you’ll be that much better of a player.” — Bob Hurley What is reclassing ?Reclassification, or reclassing, means to change an athletes graduation year . i.e ,a child is born 2006 and his high school graduation year is 2024. He is ‘class of 2024.’ If the child gets reclassed his graduation year would now be 2025, or ‘class of 2025.’ He has ‘been assigned to a different class.’ Reasons to reclass ?Relassifying is still highly controversial and most people don’t understand the concept fully. Here are three main reasons an athlete would consider reclassing:

At SAA we will meet with your family and your son/daughter to go over your families goals and reasons for the reclassification. We will collectively, make a strategic plan for his/her reclass year. The year is a great ‘extra year’ but only successful if you have a solid plan and goals set. At SAA we will work with you to make sure the right academic path is in place. Maybe your child needs credit recovery and should just redo 8th grade. Other options are in place for student athletes that are honor roll students and repeating a grade would be counter productive, we have accelerated academic tracks for those students. Maybe your son is ready to do some High School courses but other courses would be beneficiary to retake , we can also cater to the needs of that student as well. How does reclassify work?A reclassification occurs when job duties, responsibilities, and required qualifications of a position are re- evaluated and the position is assigned a new higher-level title that may also warrant a higher rate of pay.
