AZUSA gtgt A transgender senior at Azusa High School could take the field this spring as a member of the girls softball
team CIF-Southern Section officials have determined
ldquoIf the school determines the student-athlete is transgender following the guidelines regarding this issue the student-
athlete would be eligible to participate on their softball teamrdquo CIF-SS Director of Communications Thom Simmons
said ldquoIf they do not determine that the student-athlete is eligible for their softball team that student-athlete may appeal
that to the State CIFrdquo
New rules that went into effect for the beginning of the 2013-2014 sports season state that students can participate in
CIF activities ldquoin a manner that is consistent with their gender identity irrespective of the gender listed on a studentrsquos
recordsrdquo
Patrick Cordova-Goff the Associated Student Body president and a 2013 homecoming princess recently participatedin tryouts for the girls softball team
The results of that tryout will be posted Wednesday afternoon officials said
ldquoAlthough there were much rumors of opposition and nonsupport the time was fairly easy and no real issues aroserdquo
Patrick wrote in an email on Tuesday before results were posted ldquoI am hoping for the bestrdquo

httpwwwpasadenastarnewscomsports20140212transgender-student-ok-to-play-on-azusa-softball-team-cif-declares 612
The 17-year-old has identified as transgender for several years and is the founder and president of Azusa Highrsquos Gay-
Straight Alliance which is in its first full year on campus In September Patrick made Azusa Unified history as the first
transgender student elected to a homecoming court
ldquoOur District encourages all students to participate in extra-curricular activities and athletics and we want to ensure thatevery student has access to these components of our educational programrdquo Azusa Unified Superintendent Linda
Kaminski said in an email Wednesday ldquoThese type of activities enrich the school experience for our studentsrdquo
Under CIF guidelines for gender identity participation any questions regarding the integrity of the studentrsquos request to
participate in a gender-segregated sport can be resolved through an appeal hearing process that includes participation
by a doctor or mental health professional
ldquoOnce the student has been granted eligibility to participate in the sport consistent with hisher gender identity the
eligibility is granted for the duration of the studentrsquos participation and does not need to be renewed every sports season
or school yearrdquo the guidelines state ldquoAll discussion and documentation will be kept confidential and the proceedings
will be sealed unless the student and family make a specific requestrdquo
Since the new guidelines came into effect this is the first time CIF-SS officials have heard of a transgender student trying
out for a team Simmons said
ldquoHowever a member school could have determined a transgender student was able to participate on a particular team
at their school and we wouldnrsquot even know about itrdquo he said ldquoThey do not have to report it or anything like that The
way we would know is if a student appealed a denial of being allowed to play on a particular team at a school and I amnot aware of any denials since this new rule went into effectrdquo

AZUSA gtgt A transgender senior at Azusa High School could take the field this spring as a member of the girls softball
team CIF-Southern Section officials have determined
ldquoIf the school determines the student-athlete is transgender following the guidelines regarding this issue the student-
athlete would be eligible to participate on their softball teamrdquo CIF-SS Director of Communications Thom Simmons
said ldquoIf they do not determine that the student-athlete is eligible for their softball team that student-athlete may appeal
that to the State CIFrdquo
New rules that went into effect for the beginning of the 2013-2014 sports season state that students can participate in
CIF activities ldquoin a manner that is consistent with their gender identity irrespective of the gender listed on a studentrsquos
recordsrdquo
Patrick Cordova-Goff the Associated Student Body president and a 2013 homecoming princess recently participatedin tryouts for the girls softball team
The results of that tryout will be posted Wednesday afternoon officials said
ldquoAlthough there were much rumors of opposition and nonsupport the time was fairly easy and no real issues aroserdquo
Patrick wrote in an email on Tuesday before results were posted ldquoI am hoping for the bestrdquo

httpwwwpasadenastarnewscomsports20140212transgender-student-ok-to-play-on-azusa-softball-team-cif-declares 612
The 17-year-old has identified as transgender for several years and is the founder and president of Azusa Highrsquos Gay-
Straight Alliance which is in its first full year on campus In September Patrick made Azusa Unified history as the first
transgender student elected to a homecoming court
ldquoOur District encourages all students to participate in extra-curricular activities and athletics and we want to ensure thatevery student has access to these components of our educational programrdquo Azusa Unified Superintendent Linda
Kaminski said in an email Wednesday ldquoThese type of activities enrich the school experience for our studentsrdquo
Under CIF guidelines for gender identity participation any questions regarding the integrity of the studentrsquos request to
participate in a gender-segregated sport can be resolved through an appeal hearing process that includes participation
by a doctor or mental health professional
ldquoOnce the student has been granted eligibility to participate in the sport consistent with hisher gender identity the
eligibility is granted for the duration of the studentrsquos participation and does not need to be renewed every sports season
or school yearrdquo the guidelines state ldquoAll discussion and documentation will be kept confidential and the proceedings
will be sealed unless the student and family make a specific requestrdquo
Since the new guidelines came into effect this is the first time CIF-SS officials have heard of a transgender student trying
out for a team Simmons said
ldquoHowever a member school could have determined a transgender student was able to participate on a particular team
at their school and we wouldnrsquot even know about itrdquo he said ldquoThey do not have to report it or anything like that The
way we would know is if a student appealed a denial of being allowed to play on a particular team at a school and I amnot aware of any denials since this new rule went into effectrdquo
