My name is {Name} and I am a transfer student to {School Name} from {Old School}. I would like to request an exception to your eligibility rules that would allow me to play {sport} this year due to hardship.
I understand that, traditionally, transfer students are ineligible from sports for one academic year. I also understand that this is intended to put less emphasis on sports and more on academics within the education system. However, my transfer was not based on my own request, but rather on hardship within my {familial/financial} circumstances.
I moved to {School Name} due to {hardship reason}. While I am also eligible to play {team/sport}, it was certainly not the primary reason for the move. {Attach documented proof, if necessary}.
While I understand and support the rules and restrictions put into place by {School Name}, I respectfully request that an exception be made due to the circumstances of my transfer.
Thank you for your consideration.
