Friends,

For far too long, the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) has had a stranglehold on the lives of student-athletes and their families. The GHSA is a private organization that has no government oversight - an unelected bureaucracy whose rules are unfair and wrong. We finally have an opportunity to bring fairness to Georgia high school athletics thanks to a non-partisan measure by our state legislature - Senate Bill 328. 

Right now, the GHSA is strong-arming high school athletic directors and coaches into opposing this legislation as they know it will significantly decrease their power. Remember, the GHSA can decide the fate of the athletic programs, the athletes, and the classifications of the very people they are trying to bully into submission. But, the real power lies with YOU.

It's time to stand up in support of this legislation and fight back against the GHSA stranglehold that is killing sports programs in Georgia! 

Please sign this petition and contact your local legislator (Georgia Senator or House Representative) and tell them you support this bill, that you care about the lives of your children, grandchildren and families.

If this bill passes it will give student athletes "due process" rights, which they do not have under the current rules of the GHSA. It allows student-athletes to transfer schools as long as they are enrolled at the beginning of the year, without penalty (as long as no undue influence or recruiting is involved).

Give Georgia student athletes fair and equal athletic opportunity and sign the petition in support of SB 328.
