METRO LEAGUE PARTICIPATION

Lots of excuses. I know what this is all about. Nobody wants to say it. I kept waiting to hear some logical reason why all the kids could not have a chance to be there. Doesn't appear one is coming. I'll move on.

 

My understanding with fall workouts that it still could only be with 8 or fewer... Even if they were playing ina fall league. It goes against the standards they established long ago about off season workouts. That just blows me out of the water...

 

I happy to say it "lifes not fair either is sports."

 

Here are the NCHSAA rules regarding teams in off season:

Team practice in any sport is prohibited after the sports season ends until the first day following the final day of the school year. At no time during the school year may any off-season team gather with all positions represented. Any team practice or game environment created in an OFF-SEASON SKILL DEVELOPMENT SESSION is prohibited during the 180 day school calendar.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS ARE RESTRICTED IN THE NUMBER OF
PARTICIPANTS TO ONE LESS THAN A TEAM, ON A DAILY BASIS. THERE IS NO
RESTRICTION ON THE NUMBER OF COACHES WHO MAY WORK WITH THE
ATHLETES.
SEE BELOW: OFF-SEASON SKILL DEVELOPMENT WORKOUTS
SPORT NUMBER OF ATHLETES ON A GIVEN DAY

baseball .................... no more than 8

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 cannot
work with any of them during a 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.

 

speaking of NCHSAA ...

What are the rules if....
1) HS Coaches that a showcase team in the summer that consists of 6-8 players from his high school team?
2) Coaches showcase games during the begining of the school year and uses these same guys to practice on his 8 man.
3) Has a player from his summer showcase team transfer to his high school in another county at the last minuite from to play on his high school team. (Practicing with 8 man already) Wouldnt this player have to sit out the 365 days?

These are questions that come up in the stands frequently and no one seems to know the answers.

 

Why would you be happy to say it?

 

Here's a little more information. I understood that the 8 man rule was waived, but I'm not sure about that.

BASED (if that means anything) on the NCHSAA rules
1) a High school coach can coach more that 8 of his players in the summer for a summer team
2) As long as he does not have more than 8 of his players on the showcase team in the fall
3) Good question!!!!

If the 8-man rule has been waived why is it not change in the rules?
I understand the rules for the summer but the Fall?

 

Looking at your past posts including this one have you ever made one that wasn't critical or didn't criticize a coach, a team, a player, etc. You need to get on with life and get over it. This is supposed to be a positive board not one where someone continually uses it to insinuate wrongdoing where there is none or make issues where there is none. Life's too short!

 

bballdad- Welcome to TBR. Obviously, you have been reading. Why have you waited to post? ..and I don't mean that it a criticial way, I'm glad your here!
