Is there a limit to the number of players from one school on a travel team?

[buck43055]

If there is, at what age does it go into effect?

Thank you!

I think I found the answer. 4 and 7th grade. http://www.ohsaa.org/sports/sb/girls/sbmanual.pdf

Ohio (4) but unlimited between End of HS Season to July 31st. Incoming Freshman would not count towards the (4)

Unless they played middle scholl ball as 8th graders - in which case they would count

Middle school only counts if they are OHSAA certified. If the middle school is a club team - they do not count

So I thought I knew this rule fairly well, but this is a different way of looking at it than what I am used to. I thought the "squad" referred to the rule would not cross between school buildings...meaning the middle school has a squad, and the high school has a squad. High school may have more than one squad (freshman, JV, Varsity) but because they regularly move players around they should be counted a one squad. If I had 3 girls that played at the local high school and three girls that played at the local middle school, I thought they could play on the same summer team because they do not, and would not, play on the same squad together in school. Am I wrong on this or is it up for interpretation?

I read it the same as you do that Middle school is separate from high school. My comment was meant that the limit of 4 per school only applies to middle school if the middle school team is ohsaa sanctioned/school sponsored. If the middle school team is a club the limit of 4 does not apply. You can have a team with as many 7th and 8th graders as you would like.

Here is a document from OHSAA that was made for Baseball. In the OHSAA regulations, baseball and softball have the same requirements. This answers a lot of questions concerning 8th graders.
