My understanding is if money is exchanged the player loses their amateur status and would not qualify for any scholarships.

I had a girl that played summer ball for me about 5 years ago that helped at a camp and received compensation for doing so. Her coach found out and went to the TSSAA and inquired about it. She had to repay the money and was suspended for 2 weeks. She missed about 6 games for her school team. But, to make it short, don't pay any players.

What if its a Highschool coach who is compensating players? What should be done now?

I think you need to talk to the TSSAA, maybe ask for Bernard Childress. Nothing good would come from being specific about a team or player here. TSSAA: Telephone (615) 889-6740; Fax (615) 889-0544; E-Mail: tssaa@tssaa.org

I think the penalty is 25% of scheduled maximum games for that sport.

It seems like this happened at Boyd awhile back. If I remember correctly, it was a camp that some of the girls got paid for. It wasn't a big deal but they did get some kid of penalty I believe.

 

Coaches need to be very careful about this. I don't think a coach or school should be paying anyone unless they are on staff, especially players.

Found out that You cannot get paid for teaching your athletic skills. Helping for free is Ok.

You guys are correct.

 

Don't understand why a coach, who knows better, would put a child or softball program in this situation.

 

 

Thank You Everyone

I dont think high school players can get paid for working at a softball camp...but college players can, and do it all the time...but I think there is a limit on how much they are allowed to earn.

college girls get paid working at summer camps put on by their coach....my daughter played in college and was paid for working at the camps.

One difference between the college players & high school players is that the college players go by NCAA rules, not TSSAA.
