OFF-SEASON FOOTBALL

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?

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
