Fellow Coaches,
This is just a reminder regarding the implementation of S 1157, an act of the SC General Assembly (The Dual Participation Bill.)
According to SCHSL, it is the school's responsibility to be sure that the following paperwork is on file with the athletic director:
"…a statement signed by the parent or guardian indicating the child or children have permission to participate on both teams and signed by the independent (club) coach acknowledging that the student's participation shall not interfere with the scheduled league (high school) games or practices." This is a quote from the law.
I strongly urge all coaches to do this. This creates an open and honest environment of cooperation between the school and the club that was the key to our positive experience at DF last year. This should be done for JV as well.
