Since schools have been closed and all spring sports have been stopped, can off season football instruction continue?    TSSAA allows off-season instruction with a single coach and 3 student-athletes per day to meet and teach football.  Is this opportunity still in effect or has it also been deleted.

I know there was strong discussion of increasing the number of football, soccer, baseball and softball players that could be instructed during off-season and I didn't know if that had passed.

I know TNFCA was asking for 6 football players to be approved by TSSAA.

No. TSSAA put out a week ago that all normal rules as far as time of year are still in effect.

I was told that the rule for 3 players and a single coach per day was for all sports during the off-season.  When the TNFCA questioned it last year, we were told there would be a proposal for a single coach to be able to meet with 60% of the players on a court, diamond or field at one time.  In basketball you meet 5 days in a week with 3 players each day, you have met with your entire 9th grade or JV or Varsity squad.  In football it takes 4 days just to meet with the starters on either offense or defense.  Understand the rational but not good when you have 9 or more that comprise a starting unit.

No proof just a hunch,  but I bet $100 to a doughnut that rule has been broken by many HS in our state.  And if so, what is their punishment?

      2024 Mustangs

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
