Can a coach make any practices "mandatory" before Jan 16 or Jan 23....whatever the official start date was?

>> [Le Debile de Anderson] I believe that question is up the the Athletic Department. If it were not mandatory, then no one would show up until the first day of practice. Spring football would be a joke as well.<<

Just as an FYI. At our local high school (4A), the training was not mandatory and a ton of girls still showed up. That's probably the exception that proves the rule.

Canine, I think you make a good point. The girls know that if they want to make the team-come to the preseason stuff. Slack off and you get cut come tryouts. I doubt there is a uniform code across the state.

Anybody heard from a HH fan yet?

Or any response from the High School League?

I'm glad no rules were broken, and looking at what you did prior to the tryouts is very impressive. Mores schools should try and take a similar approach to their "conditioning" sessions prior to the tryouts instead of just running. It will be interesting to see how HHHS season goes this year for sure.

wow what a novel idea.....conditioning BEFORE the season wow!!!!! good job.

I like how Lexington did it. Get in shape in January work on ball controll against West Ashley and Wando.

Conditioning is one thing, but having your entire varsity squad at a mandatory ball skills session is another. What did the coaches do, train three while the other 16 or so sit and watch?

That is a bit confusing. I only ask because I may use in the future. What about the "if you don't go to a coach's session, go to a seniors"? As well, what about the "pick-up game" on Sundays and then the "day of rest".

It probably is a highly organized system that looks a bit queer to the outside eye.
