Senna posted:... As soon as the info sheet came out and he saw the freshman pitcher/catcher bullpens started today, he went and asked the baseball coach if he would be able to attend one or two if he got permission from the swim coach (the times for each overlap completely in the afternoon) (@joes87, this answers you as well). Baseball coach shut him down completely, saying that this was not possible. I do respect that they have the policy, clear and simple, with no exceptions.

Senna, FWIW, these policies are very typical in many parts of the country and it is exactly that way in our area. You can't participate in one sport until the previous sport season is ended. And, in our school, too, if you quit one sport, you are still restricted from participation in the next season's sport until the first team's season has ended. Being cut is a totally different story.
Nothing is perfect but these clear policies go a long way toward making life easier on the school, AD, coaches and players. When there is grey area and frequent exceptions, things get out of hand.
