Sir! Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Highlands at South Oldham (8/2) Cooper at Clark Montessori (8/4) South Oldham at CovCath (8/9 @7pm) St. Henry v St. Henry Alumni (8/13) Others (besides Soccerrama)?
soccerfan000 Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 The KHSAA does not allow alumni scrimmages. This would violate KHSAA bylaws and would cause players to lose the KHSAA insurance.
Sir! Posted July 31, 2016 Author Posted July 31, 2016 The KHSAA does not allow alumni scrimmages. This would violate KHSAA bylaws and would cause players to lose the KHSAA insurance. Maybe it's just alumni. I have no idea. I do know it is not uncommon for schools (high school as well as college) to play Alumni games with current team versus recent grads and they figure out/handle insurance etc. Kind of cool, if you ask me, but probably requires a program with some tradition and a coach who is connected over a longer period.
Sir! Posted July 31, 2016 Author Posted July 31, 2016 The KHSAA bans it no way around the bylaw. Case BL 22-4 specifically allows it (it is the case right above the one you posted). Geesh... if you are going to take the time to put your nose in other programs' business and get all righteous you could at least take care to be "right." Any other scrimmages planned before regular season?
gameplayedright Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 I agree with Sir, Alumni vs current team is cool and good for the program. It's a real shame that khsaa is totallying against alumni games, once again attorneys dictating rules IMO. Alumni staying involved/returning to the program is a sign of a good program/another sign of a good, respected coaching staff. Back to the listed scrimmages, S Oldham Vs HHS and then Vs CCH and Cooper Vs Clark Monessori is smart scheduling by all teams. Each of these match ups should provide each staff with a better idea of where they are at this point in their preseason, and what changes might be needed. These scrimmages area likely more helpful to the staff then the Soccerama games, which for the most part are more an exhibition, not anywhere close to played straight up.
soccerfan000 Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Many districts ban them as well. Jefferson, Fayette, Hardin, Kenton, etc. I believe the one you reference above is outdated and changed. Either way huge risks for the kids. Especially on the boys side where literally you have boys playing grown men.

One could argue that there is just as much risk for the "grown men" getting out and playing.

Either way huge risks for the kids. Especially on the boys side where literally you have boys playing grown men. It is the most current set posted by KHSAA (2015/2016) - I don't know of a more current set available. What version were you looking at? As far as what other districts allow or what you personally think the rules ought to be, that's another matter. I feel bad that I mentioned the St Henry alumni scrimmage and an interloping intermeddler made allegations of wrongdoing. For my part I apologize to the Cru faithful.
soccerfan000 Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Lots of places it is illegal. Remember NKY is not the only part of the state. Get off the high horse Sir!
soccerfan000 Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 In 14-15 this is what the bylaw said. So maybe it was changed but....
Sir! Posted July 31, 2016 Author Posted July 31, 2016 The current published KHSAA Bylaws (2015/2016) indicate it is OK (I cut and pasted the text below). KHSAA seems to differentiate against contests and scrimmages. As far as "high horses" go, I'm not the one riding in and calling out a local program as doing something "illegal," that was you Hoss. Case BL-22-4 - May a KHSAA member school play in a scrimmage in a sport against a nonmember school in Kentucky, an out of state or foreign school team that does not join that state association, or an outside team such as an alumni group? Yes. Only contests that count against the limitations of Bylaw 23 are restricted to member schools.
oldgrappler Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Other local unnamed schools also play the alumni. I don't think the current high school players consider it much of a contest, though.
