TSSAA's New "Limited Contact" Rule

It will be interesting to see how coach's questions are answered concerning what "full contact" consists of....Teams usually go shorts and helmet on Thursday, so that means 2-full contact practices per week if we're now not allowed three (3) consecutive days of "full contact" practices anymore! Full contact practices on Monday and Wednesday only? Seems crazy to me.

An over the last few years everything has become a safety concern; I agree to a certain degree on some of it, but this is going a bit overboard I think. So, now their going to basically be dictating somewhat how coaches can schedule/perform their practices...it's football, not patty cake.

 

So, why don't they just do away with the pads completely and play flag football; cause it seems like that what it's slowly going too.

I agree with all the disagreement above!

We're in a country that now wants the feminization of the man and make the woman something hard and fearsome.

I'm all for safety and research to limit injuries...heck, I have four boys and want em healthy.

Fact is, the libs will destroy this game as they are this country if they're allowed to continue.

I'm not a big fan of this rule. It's going to hurt some teams more than others in particular teams that like to run the football and it will hurt defenses in general. This new rule penalizes teams for being physical. I mean if you don't give enough time to practice tackling or blocking at full speed it going hurt the game. There is a big difference between teach technique and going full speed. I guess teams will just go full contact on Tuesday and Wednesday and use Monday as a film, gameplan, and walk through.

Amen! Scary to think what this country will be like for our great grandchildren!

It doesn't change anything for us.  Most teams go Freshman/JV games on Monday, varsity watches film and walks through some things, then stretch run/lift.  Tues full contact, Wed. full contact.  Thursday walk thru, Friday ballgame.  Sat. stretch rehab and run.  Then, repeat.  no big deal.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
