Can a high school coach be at a rec league game watching his girls play? He was not coaching but he was there watching?

We have a high school coach that helps us and he told us when we asked him that he could not be around the girls for practice or games during the dead period.

No way I can see him being allowed to help in any way. Watch a game from the stands? My guess is yes. Used to see Coach Myerhoff at summer games watching during DP.

Bylaw 24

 

Sec. 3) SUMMER DEAD PERIOD

Students may not receive coaching or training from school

personnel (either salaried or non salaried) and school facilities,

uniforms, nicknames, transportation or equipment shall not be

used each year in any KHSAA sanctioned sport or sport-activity

during the period beginning with June 25, and going through July

9. School funds may not be expended in support of interscholastic

athletics in any KHSAA sanctioned sport during this period. These

restrictions shall not apply to postseason wrap-up activities,

celebrations and recognition events relating to a spring sports

team at a school which participated in KHSAA state championship

play in that particular sport during that particular year.

As long as he is not coaching and no school equipment is being used, he is in the clear to watch.

According to Case BL-24-7 (9) There can be no observation of student-athletes who are

enrolled at the coach’s high school, even if such observation

is in conjunction with outside employment such as camps,

leagues or clinics. The only exception is detailed in the

allowable activities concerning the observation of the coach’s

children (blood or by marriage) who are on the playing roster

and actively participating on the regular high school team at

a member school.

Thanks. That clears it up. I believe that he has a daughter that plays on the team so he is clear to watch the games.

This became an issue a few years ago for a HS wrestling coach that had his son wrestle in a national off season tournament. Dad wasnt allowed to go.

You can watch your son or daughter if they are participating but otherwise you can not.

Ok folks, then explain this:

 

In swimming, we have coaches that are high school coaches that routinely also coach recreational and club swim programs and come in intimate contact with high school athletes from their own high school program, as well as other high school programs, during the dead period, which is close to the peak of the summer swim season.

 

Is there some sort of exemption here?

Only if the KHSAA gives them one and don't see why they should unless they have a child participating.

 

Morrow from J-Town got turned in for this a few years ago in basketball. He was watching his players play in an AAU tournament.

My guess is that not many know about this. I do understand what you are saying. NKSL is in full swing right now, and maybe there are high school swim coaches who also coach a local neighborhood recreational swim team.

There certainly is one - right? I think bballguy knows exactly who this is.

I am not aware of any. But I don't have anyone on a swim team now. Our neighborhood swim coach does not coach at a high school.

I'm going with the KHSAA doesn't receive too many complaints about swimming…..basketball, football, possibly softball..yes, many complaints during and about dead period.
