I may be wrong but, if your middle school is TSSAA sanctioned and play competitively in a game you would be in violation of the rules. The rules may have changed but 4 years ago the same rules applied for middle school that the high school followed. (If u were TSSAA sanctioned middle school).

This is why the big three can play select MS aged soccer while we others can't.  Once a TSSAA player is rostered for a HCDE Middle School, they are not allowed to play select.  Stupid rule that keeps many good MS players from playing for their school.  

 

Baylor, McCallie and GPS have wisely kept their MS kids out of TSSAA.  There is no benefit for  being TSSAA in Middle School except maybe insurance.  Insurance for middle school soccer players would be about $9 a head.  If some public schools want to head out of TSSAA MS soccer, I'll try to help.  It's stupid that our best players have to make a decision to play select or for their school team.  No offense to MS coaches, but most select coaches have more experience and you're losing your best and brightest players.

I believe the original question was about the coach and not the players.  The question is wanting to know for example, if a coach of a middle school girls team in the Fall can coach those same girls in the Spring as their select coach.  Did not see anything in the TMSAA constitution or by-laws to prohibit that.  However, might want to check with the State office for sure.  On the other hand, if your school is not a part of TMSAA, then there is no problem.

Hamilton County rules allow "school coach" to coach his players outside of school season, however, he CAN NOT have more than 50% of his school players (or future school players) play on his non-school team.  So for soccer, the school coach is good to coach a select team with his school players as long has he has no more than 5 playing on his select team.

 

You can find the rules for HC on their website in the Constitution. 

 

In my opinion the worry about MS kids is a joke, and there should be no restrictions.  The only reason that HC voted in these rules is the "ego" of the middle school coaches who server on the Board.  They are so worried about winning in the 6th, 7th & 8th grade they forget about what is best for the kids.  Let the kids play for good coaches! 

 

And yes, most school coaches, Middle and High School are not on level with the typical select coach.  Just go watch some of the school games and you see these coaches complaining about calls when they do not even know the rules of the game.  Soccer is the worst since so many people do not know off-sides or what a foul looks like.  Drives me crazy.

The only issue I have seen with high school coaches also coaching a club in the same town has been the coach pressuring high school players to play on his/her club team. I know this happened with a Kentucky HS. Probably why the 50% rule was put in place.

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
