Phoenix Christian freshman Sasha Danyliuk, who fled the war in Ukraine last year, can't play varsity basketball in her career under an AIA rule.
After the Orme School in 2011 went 25-0 and won the 1A state boys basketball title with international players, the AIA changed its international eligibility rule.Sasha Danyliuk isn't a ringer brought to Phoenix Christian to lead the girls' basketball team to a state title.
Like others at Phoenix Christian not allowed the privilege to play varsity sports, she came to the school on an F-1 Visa . That allows a person to come to the United States as a full-time student and stay as long as they wish, as long as they're going to school. But the AIA doesn't recognize it. Sasha wants to graduate and go to an American university. She wants to prosper. And she feels that having varsity competition in a sport on her resume will help her find a college for a chance at a scholarship, whether it's academic or athletic.
"But as coaches, and coaches who are fathers, they see it from a different perspective. I'm not a father but they see it from a different perspective. What if somebody told your child they can not play? These are our kids. They're our responsibility. We're helping them along their journey. And they're devastated by this rule."Kim"K.B." Kyubo is a freshman from South Korea, who also is a talented baseball player.
Edouard points out how COVID-19 created a major setback for students in education and socializing and that the AIA should help students prgoress educationally and socially with an"all hands on deck mentality." He said these international students are not feeling included, which goes against an AIA promotional video about inclusion in sports, called, 'Everyone wins.
But Hines said this rule has been approached to see if there was any interest by the membership to do anything different, and,"at this time," he said,"there isn't."Phoenix Christian international athletes struggle with AIA rule "A few schools had proposed that international students be allowed to compete at the varsity level after they had completed two consecutive semesters of attendance at that same school," Peter said."Each year, ALA usually has about 12 to 20 international students. The majority of them start attending as sophomores or juniors and stay at ALA through graduation with the goal of attending an American university.
