Ohio high school rules

[default]

When is Ohio high school gonna learn that they don't own these girls. I had to turn away a player today that would have been a good fit for my team because i already have 4 from her high school. I just don't see the reason for that rule.

Short answer... Never.

Are you on the coaching staff of the high school of the 4 players you mentioned?
Are any of the coaches on your staff a coach from said high school?

If so then you are correct with the 4 player limit.

If not then then the 4 player limit does not apply (during summer ball season).

Or indoor tournaments until the cutoff date

 

[default]

no high school coaches involved but we but we play in a fall tournaments and a showcase

 

[default]

Not a problem, You can have 4 or 10 players on your team during summer/fall. As long as your not a high school coach..

Not true super pro, there have been many threads on this one. Summer is fine with more than 4, fall is not fine.

Ok, now that all that is settled, better get on the phone and get that player back!

It is settled that it is not allowed.......They can not have team with more than 4 doing anything till next Memorial Day - Period.
If they do & found out, those girls are gonna be in eligibility trouble. No one would want that for the school & especially any of the girls....

 

[default]

Also incoming freshman do not count until tryouts, so they would be able to play this fall season together.

Also I remember that someone said that freshman do count if they were on the 8th grade team in the school program (if there was one).

If I recall correctly, freshman only count if the MS team was OHSAA - not if it was a club team.

It might be splitting hairs, but I don't think tryouts are pertinent. They become an interscholastic player when they participate in an interscholastic contest under OHSAA (MS/HS).

 

[default]

I agree - the MS team had to be OHSAA.

After this thread I am glad to live in Kentucky.

When I read the OHSAA rules for eligibility it always starts saying "A member of..." So in fun and just to keep this thread going here are a few questions.

1. Does "member" mean: current, current/past, future?
2. If it means "current" does that indicate your free to do whatever you like until you are an OFFICAL member of the team? That usually doesn't happen until end of February beginning of March after school tryouts.
3. If it means current or past then I raise this question: If you play as a freshman then don't play agian until your a senoir or not again what happens to those years? Are you still held to the OHSAA rules as a sophmore/Junior or if you stopped playing school ball, until you graduate? How many kids out there are in this situation? coaches better watch out...LOL!
4. I can't believe it would mean future... but you just never know!
