I don't know of any High school or fall leagues, most play in tournaments in the fall. I know we (HHS) may be reaching out to scrimmage some teams if they are up to it and are too effected by fall sport athletes.

 

There are no High School Fall leagues in NKY because the State doesn't allow them. By Law 25 section 8) Sports Specific Limitations- Softball- Girls (Fastpitch) a) Following the opening day of school there shall be no organized practice prior to February 15.

High School teams are practicing now. It is not mandatory that players come until Feb. 15. They can practice or play in tournaments or games all year except the dead period.

As Beena stated...not mandatory at all. We don't make any decisions on what we see now. We only focus on the fundamentals for those that want to work on them. Teams practice just about year round now in many HS sports. You just can't make it mandatory for kids to be there or make decisions on who is showing up vs. who isn't. It's just a time for the kids that want get better and work on their game to do so.

Which was my plan several years ago, but when I couldn't get a straight answer from area coaches and ADs on what was allowed, I called down state and was told the only thing Softball teams can do prior to Feb.15 is conditioning and weightlifting. If you are using the "tools of the sport" it considered a practice. Mandatory or not, it is still an organized practice. This particular By Law is Softball specific, I'm not sure the limitations for other sports. I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble, and I would love to be wrong about this. You just might want to get clarification because I would hate to see girls become ineligible. After all this is posted in a public forum and you abbreviated your school.

When all restaurants are closed and no wings available.

No, its not officially the dead period until they quit serving beer. That's the line in the sand.
