If it were D1, I believe it would be a NCAA violation.  Son was involved in a similar situation years ago and the coach had to quit his job....and he was a volunteer coach at the school.

 

Once players get to high school age, things get sticky.

 

If the lessons are off campus.....?????  (My first thought was who would know, but it would put the school in jeopardy.)

 

Rick needs to pipe in.

 

 

And to make it even stickier...the coach is also the Recruiting Coordinator.

...and my son has previously already sent the Head Coach a recruiting email...(sent to the Head Coach before our friend was hired as an assistant coach). The more I think about it, the more I think it's a risky situation. Thanks for the reply keewart.

Exactly right. At least, that's true for DI coaches, and it wouldn't surprise me if that were the case for DII coaches, as well.

 

Private instruction is limited to middle schoolers and younger; and, like camp registration, the private instruction has to be open to anyone who wants it.

My apologies for the delay in commenting on this thread.  Since your friend is an assistant coach at a Div. II college, it would be a violation on the part of the coach (but not your son) to provide lessons to your son.  However, it would be possible if there is a local baseball club that the coach is associated with and your son is a member of the club. 

 

The legislation on "local sports clubs" was developed many years ago with individual sports in mind like tennis, swimming, wrestling, etc., but as travel teams have blossomed in other sports, the rule has a wider application now.
