If the spirit of the rule is to prevent HS coaches from training their players on the off-season, then they might as well prohibit HS coaches from coaching club soccer. These are the points that don't make sense to me:
I don't get how the rule should extend to practicing on the middle school campus. If there are no middle school students on the team training at that facility, how does it apply? The rule, as stated below, states the "use of school facilities". This implies a school, not any facility in the district. How would non-Northwestern players be declared ineligible? They are not a student of or member of the NW team training at NWHS. The spirit of the rule seems to me is to hinder HS coaches from training their players on the off season. This is a farce. This would impact a significant number of club soccer players in the state. The only way to ensure this is to prohibit HS coaches from coaching club soccer. That would certainly lead to a deterioration of the HS game.
