Which months can a high school coach keep coaching?

Krak,

Here in Georgia our HS coach has always shut it down on the last day in June. And I do believe that was because he had to due to GHSA rules.

Different rules all over the place.

Krak,

It depends on who is sanctioning your games. Up until last year in SoCal there were contact rules similar to what you describe. Coaches were only allowed contact with players for one hour during the school year outside of the official season. (normally 6th period in school) There was limited, to no contact allowed during the summer. They changed the rule last year so coaches can now be in contact with the players year round. The old rule was silly because the coaches would be in the stands talking to the “official coaches” on the field, who usually were dads or other friends of the coaches. Now the kids have their coaches with them year round and there is much more consistency in approach.

The CIF in So California is the sanctioning body. Information can be found here:

Regardless of the rules there are many ways to bend them. In our state the head coach can run a fall ball team as long as the high school name and equipment isn't used. The high school donates the field usage to the league.

Yeah, I'm going to need to seek clarification from the Pacific District AD on which set of standards we're using here overseas. I was told I can only do 'conditioning' -- specifically weight-training and cardio types of things. No equipment, not even my own. This gives me just ten weeks out of the year with these guys and there's just something wrong with that.

I think its great if a coach wants to spend time
with players,why not.
But,I'm wondering how this summer will pan out since rumor has it that our hs coach doesn't want any player to play travelball at all.
It is common knowledge this coach doesn't like travelball.
He said he will have games planned all summer long
and plans on being with players the entire time.
I'll be honest,I'm alittle worried since we had planned on several tournament in FL,AZ and NC. A parent mentioned the coach said that those who choose not to participate..."Well, it was nice knowing you!"Now players will have to choose and it has nothing to do with official schoolyear baseball.
