Dead Period--WHY ???

Try not to be a tattle-tail

Were you meaning to be a tattle-tail????? Come on man/or woman????? Does it really matter????? Why name people? they nmust be your opponets, huh?

 

Sorry. Typed before I thought. Shouldn't have mentioned specific names. I was just stating a situation. I'm against dead periods and see nothing wrong with a coach working with players during Aug.

 

what's the deal?

it's just one month. come on.

 

I never post anything, but since you can not recieve messages, I feel I should say something. I don't know who you are central-d, but I would really appreciate it if you have you facts straight before posting anything about me and my name is Moira Brookshire or my program and that is South Caldwell! I am a teacher/coach that does follow rules, no matter if I agree with them or not. I know for a fact all the High School coaches that do coach a travel team at Keyndal's fundraiser were all watching their teams and the parents, etc., were coaching. I think it is very sad to post something negative when we all were trying to help raise money for a special young lady and her family. Again please do not post anything negative about me or my program.

 

That is why I dont even go to the field when my TB team plays or practices in August. It seems if your there your fair game for all the people that want to stir the pot.

 

Rule-Dead Period-Penalty

"Any individual who coaches at an NCHSAA member high school, head or assistant, paid or non-paid, faculty or non-faculty, parent volunteer, etc, must abide by the skill development, out-of-season workout rules. If a high school coach, regardless of the sport he or she coaches at the high school, also coaches an "outside" or "club" team, whether head or assistant, and has any athletes from the high school on that outside team, he/she cannot work with any of them during the dead-period, and is limited to no more than the sport-specified limit of them per day in an out-of-season workout." During the summer, coaches are free to work with individual or multiple players, from their school or their feeder schools, conduct practices, etc. Once practice for the fall sports season begins, those restrictions are in place.

Penalty: A coach found guilty of conduct inconsistent with a wholesome athletic program may be (1) reprimanded, (2) placed on probation for a period not to exceed one year, with or without play-off privileges for the team, (3) fined $400.00, and/or (4) suspended from directing a team for a period of time not to exceed one year.

 

Look Again

It isn't just one month it's also November because of basketball,etc..and I think April, buts that's softball season---so who cares---just kidding !!! This rule can't be policed so why even have it, and if the coaches are sitting in the stands.... lets say approximate 50 feet from the players what keeps them from hand signaling signs to the players from the stands??...C'mon guys everybody knows this is a dumb rule,and it can't trully be enforced, unless some whiney parent calls the AD.

 

So it's okay for the coach to coach other than his kids from his high school, so he could disallow those kids from participation during the DEAD Months ,and be okay ???? Also what keeps the Non-High School coach from pressuring the kids to be there at practice instead of the other sports? Why does it matter high school coach or not "PRESSURE IS PRESSURE" !!!!!

 

Emphasis

I personally don't think it is a good idea for anyone associated with the high school team to be involved in any type of activity during the "dead period". I am sure there are some that break the rule and skirt around its intent. You are correct in the fact that it is difficult to police. But I do know that it takes place. If you are caught breaking the rule, there is little to no sympathy. The NCHSAA makes this rule a point of emphasis, and it is the coach's responsibility to know it and abide by it.
