Upon first reading - it makes it look like since so many teams were violating the rules, they changed the rules. Nice life lesson. It will be interesting to see exactly how many practices football can fit into a school year.
Hmm..... Makes you wonder how coaches will handle this. For soccer, sure it gives you a chance to work on a skill or 2 once or twice a week, but too much practice and kids will just be burned out before the season even starts.
SCHSL passes the buck. Reality is, many kids/coaches/teams were routinely breaking the existing rule. It's ridiculous in football. As to the question above: They don't.

You think? I know where I am, the football team is ALWAYS practicing. You can say it's players leading the drills and such, but you can bet there is a "volunteer" or somebody lurking around to make sure it's done. Basketball isn't much better. I don't think they've ever observed a 'closed gym' time. However, soccer cannot even use the stadium half the time and when they do, they catch crap for it. Ridiculous! I wish the parents of our players would raise Holy Hell about it, but they just take a backseat to the football powers. It's disturbing how the coward to those oafs.
We didn’t underestimate them. They were a lot better than we thought.
What about coaches who coach two sports? i agreed to coach girls tennis last year because no one else would do it. No coach, no team. Now I have to try to split my time between tennis and soccer in the fall. It'd be even worse for football coaches who coach something else. They don't have any free time as it is.
Sure they do. It's called Econ, or Civics, or Statistics, or Health ... Or whatever other phony make-a-job class they teach so they can be on faculty and coach.
