PS ?Can you get around these restrictions by not being sanctioned by OSHAA ? If so what do you lose in the trade off ? ? ?Like someone said above ?be a club team ? ? Thanks MD
If your 7th grade team is a "club team" and not an OHSAA sanctioned team, you have nothing to worry about. ?If it is recognized as a School Board/OHSAA sanctioned team, you will have to abide by all the regulations that OHSAA requires, which some of them have been mentioned.
OHSAA teams, which are approved by the school board usually get some travel expenses paid for and possibly money for a coach, as well as having school insurance. ?You get none of that on a "club" team.
You are better off staying as a "club" team, unless you are fully funded by your school board. ?
