Has Alcoa violated a TSSAA rule?

[XtremeLoco]

15 consecutive days of school to get in 10 days of practice. It was explained to me several years ago when I was a head coach that weekends would not count UNLESS I scrimmaged on a Saturday or Sunday and then those days would count.

Thanks that clears it up for me a bit. TSSAA is hard to understand on these rules.

The rule states 15 school days to get ten days. (pads or no pads it matters whether instruction is going on), plus 2 interschool scrimmages. which means that if you do a three way, this would count as your 2. Greenback did not violate the rules, in fact they could have practiced one more day. The key word there is plus.

Why not just beef everybody up in the winter and make 'em really strong so that you can do full-contact practice without any pads?

Bill#49 If this is the same camp Marion and Whitwell both have had players attend the camp. It is legit the kids paid their own way and no instruction by their coaches took place. It is an individualized camp much like the UT camps, Wing-T camp in Georgia that some schools attend along with others. The camp may require Shoulder pads and helmets but it is not a camp ran by the coaching staff or paid for by the staff. THerefore no violation. We are not talking a full pad fall camp!! This is much ado about nothing in my opinion.
