CIF Appeals & Athletic Eligibility Defense

Protecting Student-Athletes’ Rights to Compete in California Reversing eligibility denials, navigating transfer rules, and securing hardship waivers.

About CIF Appeals

How our team of trial lawyers helps you navigate appeals and retain eligibility.

By navigating the complex regulatory framework of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF), the athletic eligibility practice group at Wingert Grebing can advise on the strict "Blue Book" bylaws and procedural nuances that may affect your student-athlete. Providing a variety of services relating to transfer compliance, administrative appeals, and eligibility defense, Wingert Grebing most often represents the interests of families, student-athletes, and transfer students in CIF matters, including residency disputes, hardship waivers, and Bylaw 207 transfer validation. Wingert Grebing also frequently represents the interests of students against allegations of undue influence (Bylaw 510) and pre-enrollment contact to preserve the competitive season.

What Our Clients Say

“I can’t thank Mark Amador enough.

He guided us through every step with care and determination — and great news, my daughter has been granted eligibility. Truly outstanding work!”
