why is this different than Gilbert and why wouldn't the SCHSL reverse one or the other?

And I'll state again... I think most anyone involved in club soccer can name coaches who practiced during the fall with a t least 3 players.

and by the way this 3 player rule makes no sense when compared to the 75% rule.

and by the way I happen to think that SCHSL rules are ridiculous so in that sense I am with you. However if it is good for the goose it has to be good for the gander.

you guys sound like a presidential candidate

Sorry, I was mistaken about the college soccer girls drinking at Winthrop. It was just the President's daughters-

So what is the diffence between Gilbert and what happened here?

Nobody parties like the Bush girls!!!!

I hate rules. Well, no....not really. Actually, I love structure. So rules that help in this regard....I like.

Rules written by lawyers that don't add a whole heckuva lot of value....I despise.

So....the State Champion DSC U17 team was practicing and getting ready for some high level post season tournament. Either CASL Shootout or Bethesda or something like that.

And because the coach of that team also coaches at a local high school and a minority of kids on the team play for him at high school.....and this coach practices at a field hired by his club and paid for with club dues, which just happens to be at a school (not his own)....

Somehow, this now becomes a violation of SC high school rules on illegal training?

Come on......how absolutely stupid is this?

W&E,
Lawyers, guns, and money. Sometimes they go by the spirit of the law, sometimes by the letter. Whichever suits them.

Big Daddy,
You need to address your concern to Jerome Singleton.

I went to high school in western PA and played high school football there. We practiced every Monday thru Thursday night of the week during the summer, at the school, using school facilities.

We lifted weights, ran, worked on non-contact position specific technique, had some fun pickup games. All of it attended and organzied by the coaches.

It was offered by Parks and Rec....and open to ANYONE who wanted to participate. Unwritten rule for football players was that it was mandatory.

Now......at the time this was legal. Not sure if it still is. But it was....becasue it was open to everyone.

Comparing situations like this......to the DSC-Northwestern one....is crazed. Dumb rules madeup by small minded people.
