In a hypothetical situation, is there a rule against a player attending one high school and practicing (but not playing) with another? Anyone got something in writing?

strange

This becomes an enrollment issue and the player is not covered by the KHSAA catastrophic insurance. I would hope that a coach wouldn't jeopardize his career for something like this. The young man could get hurt or hurt another player; and the coach, school and administration will be sued. Once again, to be covered by the KHSAA insurance, the player must be enrolled in that particular school and considered a member of their team.

Gossip. Be careful.

Be careful about what?

Legitimate question about a hypothetical situation?

I have heard of situations like this going on in the past and had heard about kids that went to schools without programs playing for teams at schools that did years ago.

Just curious as to what the ruling was.

The answer to your question is in the KHSAA Handbook:

 

"Case BL-4-11 May a student participate for a member school while enrolled in another school that does not offer a particular sport?

 

No, a student must be enrolled as a full time student and receiving credit through the member school at which participation is desired, or be a student at a "feeder" school in the same school district as defined within Bylaw 4 and its interpretations. Specific guidance as to the feeder pattern definitions can be found in Case Situation 10-3-(9)."
