My favorite part of this is each tournament counts as 4 games.

Cascade hit in on the nose.

 

Not sure why TSSAA adopted this, were there a lot of High School teams playing year round?

[GHS2012]

YES, allot of High Schools were playing year round. From what I was told the 5 rule was enacted to hinder some of this "year round play" by schools. Now all these schools are doing is playing in the summer instead of the fall & some are combining with other schools to get around the 5 rule in fall.

 

TSSAA needs to weak up & re-think these regulations. With NO legal recourse for the coaches, players are being forced to play year round with there High School and only have 2 weeks off for dead period in the summer.

 

I remember my days (many, many years ago) as a HS athlete. Coach was a good guy and i enjoyed playing for him most of the time. But 4 months with this man was all i could stand, If I had of been forced to play year round for this man SOMEONE would have been driven from the game. I just hope TSSAA changes something before DD gets fed up. /unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":unsure:" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> /wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> /mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" />
