Yes. From the OHSAA general regulations:

4.9) Members of the Interscholastic Coaching Staff – Team Sports – In non-interscholastic participation (contests, tryouts, training and practices) in team sports, members of the school’s interscholastic coaching staff may coach interscholastic squad members from the school district where employed for a maximum of 10 days from June 1 to July 31. The 10-day limitation applies to the entire coaching staff. Each individual coach is not entitled to 10 different days for coaching.
Note: The Board of Directors may further limit the number of contact days during this period as specified in the specific sports regulations.
EXCEPTION 1: The paid or unpaid interscholastic coach employed by a Board of
Education or other governing board may coach interscholastic squad members from the
school district where the coach is employed as coach without limitation from June 1 through July 31 if the 50% limitation is observed. The 50% limitation is defined as a maximum of 50% of the members of a team as defined in the playing rules of the sport. The following chart indicates those limitations for OHSAA recognized team sports.
50% Limitation on Sport Number of squad members
Baseball 4
Basketball 2
Field Hockey 5
Football 5
****** 5
Softball 4
Volleyball 3
Note: Ice Hockey shall use a five player limitation.

EXCEPTION 2: If the 50% limitation is observed, an interscholastic coach may continue
participation with a non-interscholastic squad in a national qualifying tournament after July 31 until the squad is eliminated from the national qualifying tournament but no later than Labor Day.

OHSSA changed the rule and you can have 6 players now and not 4. If you have 6 or less you have unlimited days except for the no-contact period in August. You can have than 6 from May 15 - July 31 but these count as 1 of your now 13 days.

You can coach a National Event that runs into August as well.

I'm waiting to see the actual published rule to this limit change. Nothing that I can find on OHSAA own website shows this yet.

glad they published. And of course they raise more questions. it does spell out that the 6 player rule is year round for softball. and still no contact in August.

And part i is being violated all over the place. hear it all the time. "you don't have to play for this team or attend this instructor....but your chances are greater to make school team if you do."
