You gotta be kidding. out of all the things I have seen on this board that needs change, that is the biggest one. How can a coach get their team ready to play in less than 2 weeks. The T$$AA has to change that. Heck, no wonder coaches are practicing. The season doesn't have to start two weeks later. Coaches CHOOSE to play Hall of Fame games. It has been November 1st for 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conditioning and OPEN GYM supervised by Coaches are allowed up until real Practice begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They set the first date you CAN play and the last. You decide where in that spectrum you play. You are not required to play on the first available date.

Rebelman51 Posted August 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Never realized it was a rule. Guess cause every coach in Carroll, Weakley, Henry, and Gibson Counties practices from the time school starts. Saw a girl in a restaurant yesterday afternoon decked out in full practice uniform. Plays for a red and blue team about 25 minutes down the road. Talked to her a bit and she said she had just left practice. If coaches are going to cheat, TSSAA should do something about it or just allow practice 365 days a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes zero sense. I never said I liked it, but I understand the why behind the rule. I bet when they made the original rule/calendar that more kids played football and basketball. Sadly, we have fewer multi-sport athletes than we used to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
