How K to 12 will affect the UAAP, NCAA, PRISAA etc. Maximum age 24 to 27.

Now let’s look at how this will affect the UAAP and NCAA Philippines etc. This will have a good effect as it will mean athletes will be older in college as they have been older in high school. Which could lead to furthermore improved meet records? As a lot of athletes tend to peak at 25.

And most of the time under the older system they were already out of college by then. And quite often struggling to find a job. Very few actually make it to the national level due to the limitation of support.

Please note for Juniors a lot of UAAP meet records improved but now its no longer considered youth or high school level as some of the athletes were nearly 20.

Now let’s say an athlete will now start at 19 or 20.

For instance, this means five playing years which will go until 23 or 24 which is within the maximum playing age of 24.

Furthermore the rules also currently state an athlete can play until 7 years after they finish high school in different leagues.

Let’s say if an athlete doesn’t consume all playing years and has timed out of school that would mean the maximum age would have to be adjusted from 24 to 27. 27 right? actually wrong.

However as per (Table 1.0) the maximum playing age of 26 is actually going to be reduced to 25. So a 19 or 20-year-old graduate will get 5 or 6 years.

Residency

UAAP Residency Eligibility Rules

Jerry Pingoy Rule: (HS UAAP to other UAAP College)

In addition, if a player graduated High School from a UAAP member school and then transfers to another

UAAP member school for college must do a 2-year residency.

If the former school contests the transfer. if not contested, a player needs to do only a year of residency.

If from a non-UAAP member High School no residency requirement. Can play for the school only for a maximum of 5 school years.

This rule was actually scrapped Aquino signs RA10676 scraps 2-year residency rule for College Athletes.

In addition, President Aquino has blocked a 2-year residency rule introduction just a few weeks before the start of the UAAP Men’s Basketball season.

The President signed Republic Act No. 10676, which scraps the UAAP’s two-year residency rule for high school student-athletes transferring to a different school for college.

Sen. Pia Cayetano, the main proponent of the bill, said the “UAAP residency issue will now be put to rest” after the President signed the bill Wednesday.

This really is good news for Student-athletes who now will no longer be penalized for having to transfer schools.

Non-UAAP to UAAP School

The UAAP remains with the 1-year residency rule for college student transference from Non-UAAP e..g PRISAA to UAAP. In addition, meaning to say an athlete who transfers during Season 80 of UAAP will need to wait till Season 82 before they are eligible for participation for their new UAAP School.

UAAP to UAAP School College

An athlete that transfers between UAAP Colleges will have to wait out 2 years of residency before participating in their new school. E.g. An athlete transfers from UE to UST. Meaning to say the athlete transfers during Season 80 of UAAP will need to wait till Season 83 before they can participate in their new school.
