Changes going to vote in the next month

[TC53]

So, am I right that there are proposals to do both of these things that will be decided soon?
1) 180-day transfer sit-out if not accompanied by domicile change
2) removal of restrictions on out-of-season/during-school-year practice sessions (like only 4 basketball players at a time, etc...)

True? How do we think this is going to come out?

If #2 passes it will be catastrophic to small school roster sizes. You will see a significant increase in one sport athletes/sport specialization.

not so, in small schools the object of all coaches is to promote three sport athletes and this can easily be supported by all coaches and upheld by the Administration, as what they will allow

This is inaccurate. Doesn't matter what the admin or coaches say. If a kid loves baseball and the baseball coach is offering fall workouts you can lock it that the kid isn't going to play football. This isn't rocket science. This is common sense. AD and principal can tell the kid 100 times he should play football, they can't force him to. And he won't if he has an opportunity to play the sport he likes better through the school during the same season. The baseball coach isn't at fault here, either. He is trying to build his program.

You control in by allowing or not allowing workouts by your coaching staff You control your coaching staff during other seasons

And thus a competitive disadvantage becomes present, because the (insert sport name here) program at High School A is not permitted to practice in the off-season so their kids continue to play other sports....but the same sport at High School B is practicing because they don't care about multi-sport athletes. So now HS A is an entire offseason behind HS B when they play in the regular season. Its a stupid proposal. A vote for it is a vote against multi-sport athletes.

Very good point I agree

 

[TC53]

The competitive imbalance already exists in schools where the kids/families have the money to access club sports. I think #2 is most likely to push us further toward the future we are already heading for where schools drop sports to focus on others, and especially in multi-school areas, we have basketball schools that no longer compete in football and maybe even not in track.

I think it will help high school coaches manage their time more efficiently by working with all the athletes at once, and therefor freeing up time and space for other activities to work as well. Smaller schools will still do a good job of sharing athletes. This rule is for larger schools with 1 sport athletes to work year-round with them, but in a more efficient way. Instead of a coach having various days and slots for cage work with guys, he can schedule a an hour or two with less days and probably get more done. honestly, Honestly, this makes it easier for the coach

Firm disagree. What about the coach that is already coaching something in the fall (Football), then is also the track, baseball, or soccer coach in the spring. He now has to run 2 a days (football followed by his spring sport) daily just to keep up with neighboring districts. Its insanity.

the entire thing has become insanity. Heck they are voting on an A/B classification for Football. whats the criteria you ask, well NONE you just tell your story and the group decides if you get to join. Its all insane and you get to be in a class with about a total of 16 schools and play for state title

 

[TC53]

Does the A/B class proposal involve a playoff? I thought it didn't. I thought teams opting for that division would be opting out of the championship system and work on establishing their programs and offering good competition for each other.
