Practicing out of season?
#1
Is this legal now?
#2
Nope! Instruction is now allowed all year long with the exception of dead-period. Teams can have open field/gym all season long and provide instruction to every individual. But it cannot be a team practice and must be open to all students who wish to participate.

Yeah... Just can't say NO to anyone pretty much...

So you can give instruction, but it has to be open to any student. Not trying to be smart, but whats the difference between instruction and practice?
#6
Instruction - telling a student/player what to do and how to do it

Practice - student/player practicing what your telling them to do
#7
A coach can work with any player on his/her individual skills. That is instruction.
A coach can't work with the team as a unit, they can only have open gym which is open to all students.

the rule states that a Team cannot practice, it must be open to all students. You can runs skills and drills, conditioning and teach players anything that is fundamental to the sport.

What you cannot do is plan a team practice that puts in game preparation and is restricted to only the individuals of your choosing. There are skills and fundamentals, then there are plays from a playbook. There is a big difference. If you are familiar with Open Gym, then that is what can be done all year round now.

SD didn't you mean Open Gym instead of Open Guy?

^ Welcome SD

Great move by the KHSAA. Less policing and bad publicity. The rule also gives schools a chance to compete with year around AAU, USSSA, YBOA organiztions, still got a lot to do but it is a starting point.
#13
That change is just one of many KSHAA needs to make. Member schools voting on their own rules isn't good for sports, would like to see an honest, knowledgable, fair group of people to consider rules and their applications. To allow the schools to establish rules just doesn't make sense. IMO

^ KHSAA is a member organization. Unfortunately, there is no way around it and that is the case at all levels of sports.

NCAA is in existence at the behest of the colleges and the colleges dictate the rules

NFL is in existence are the behest of the owners of each team

None of these organizations would be in existence if it was not for the teams or schools. Because the teams cannot trust each other to make the rules, these entities are in existence basically to mediate on behalf of all teams. It's an annual debate every year when all you hear about is that KHSAA or the NCAA is all about making money! Well, they are! But the money does not go to them, it goes to the schools that put them in charge in the first place. The rules that every get's hung up about, it created and dictated at the school level, thus KHSAA could never dictate something that all the school must vote in! This rule in particular has been debated heavily for the past few years. It is huge for baseball and something that we have been pushing for heavily. It took the rest of the schools and sports to buy-in before this finally became a rule - but it's not a KHSAA rule, but a rule that the schools dictated.
