We bought it for track since it was cheaper than an FAT system and we could get accurate times. We have since used it some for football too.

Depending on interpretation, it's basically just not eating during the day and eating at night. If he's careful about it it shouldn't matter. They can not drink water either... Sometimes their parents allow water, but not always.

I disagree on the anonymity issue. The anonymity of party A doesn't discount this kid's actions, especially if it's agreed that this is, in fact, the kid in question. That being said, it depends what he is pictured doing and what he's been in trouble for in the past. If he was never made to come clean about all past deeds, and it's something minor, I would let it go as a past transgression that doesn't necessarily impede his progress. However, if he was made to account for his past deeds, and he left this out, or if it's a major infraction, I would be less lenient. Well how do you not know the picture was submitted by someone else who was drinking at the party? That has happened before. A parent has sent in pictures of a starter drinking from the same party her daughter was drinking at but not on camera.

That wouldn't be accepted at our school unless the person handing in the picture puts their name to it.

If a kid start and make a positive impact he should be up. Only way I would lean toward leaving him down in that situation is if your varsity will likely be bad and by leaving him down your lower level would have success.
If kid will play but not start, a lot depends on his mental makeup. Some kids would love to be the sophomore on varsity who plays special teams and occasionally get in the game. Others will pout in that situation and complain they would rather be down with their friends.

So how many kids are you prepared to lose over this? All that make the decision. I really don't see why you would want to cost your team next fall by potentially losing kids over baseball/track/volleyball etc. Unless you are in a top end of school that gets the best kids on a yearly basis. Then it doesn't really matter.

As a staff we have taken a stern stance on our off season participation rule... either you participate or you do not play football. Now we are a private school, and we are "allowed" to make these demands. So how many kids are you prepared to lose over this?

We used to watch motivational videos the day before every game. The high school I went to (Mt. Carmel) won its 12th state title today. Not because of videos of course, but it certainly never made us shaky.

Illinois
9 Game schedule and at the end of regular season the top 256 teams (basically everyone with a winning record) are placed into 8, 32 team brackets based on school enrollment. So we have 8 state champions.

Unless the other team was posting practice of video of how they would attack our schemes, having another teams hudl wouldn't really do anything for me. We already get plenty of film of the teams we play. As for us, we don't film practice and our online practice scripts are very basic. Anything extremely specific is gone over in practice.

The easier it is, the less they think and the faster they play.

-Our kids don't come in on the weekends. Unless they get hurt, then they are supposed to come on Saturday to see the trainer. We leave the weight room open and film of previous game is usually sent by 1am after the game through Hudl. Some of these kids have there highlights up before daybreak on Saturday.
- We don't meet as a coaching staff either on any level. Coordinator/Head Coach put together game plans (our staffs are not very big either). Anything needs to be talked about is done through email or cell. Occasionally some coaches will meet to go over stuff, but not a lot.
- As for Hudl, defensively I send out 8-10 plays a team were playing will most likely run with some notes attached for my level. Varsity does the same.
- We keep things as simple as possible. The less they think, the faster they will play.

I don't think you can accurately project the majority of freshman. Way too many variables in what can happen from Freshman to Junior year.

NCSA doesn't do anything a competent coach or kid who is Hudl Savvy can't do himself. Cannot assume that all coaches are competent an that all kids have access to HUDL. True but I know as long as I am where I am at we will never encourage a kid to join one of these services.

They play other sports. We are not going to be paying their college tuition once they leave us. So why should we make them chose? In the summer time we go in the morning, basketball goes in the afternoon and so does baseball. We don't have many conflicts with either. Occasionally kids miss 7 on 7 to go to Summer League Basketball games but not that often. Track and wrestling do not have summer camps and we don't have volleyball players or swimmers all that often.

The amount coaches fight over kids who will never play after high school or D3 at best is mind boggling. I have yet to come across a scholarship level athlete who would not of been if he did not specialize.

For some of these kids a showcase is a job interview. These "job interviews" happen practically every weekend in the Chicagoland area. I find it hard to believe this was the only showcase he could attend.

I lean more toward money making scam with these things. College coaches are not allowed to attend.
Read the book, "Play their Hearts out". It documents the rise of these satelite camps that are used in basketball to get a national camp. The guy who started this has made millions.

My high school had the policy only Sophomore who were called up during the season got rings. That was also when they were winning state titles with regularity. If it happened now I don't know what would happen there.

1. How do you handle athletes that play multiple sports?
Most of our athletes are multi-sport kids.
2. Do you allow athletes to participate in preseason for a sport while another sport is going on?
Football there hasn't been any issues, but for track I have had kids go to tennis lessons, AAU basketball, soccer, volleyball and club wrestling at night after our practice. We have to do this with boys/girls track to keep the athletes out. 3. How many days off do you give an athlete when going from the end of a season to the start of practice for the next?
One Week.
4. Do you allow athletes to play more than 1 sport during a season?
We do but it is rare. A kid would have to be really good at both for it to happen.
5. Does the way you handle a multi-sport athlete matter on their position on the team, ie: 3rd string kicker vs 1st string rb?
No.

I teach a kid who went from 5'7/chubby and couldn't get out of his own way (beginning of 6th grade) to 6'0 190 (put together) in 18 months. From worst athlete to one of the top 3 in his class. You never know what will happen.

I coach in the suburbs of Chicago. I get about 10k total to coach both football and track and I am seven years in. It goes up about 150 dollars a year per sport. However I teach in the Catholic grammar school system and only make 30k. If I had the same job and experience in one of the local public high schools I would be making over 65k.
As far as coaching pay goes, it is middle of the road compared to most high schools in the Chicago-land area. My buddy is a head Basketball coach at a Catholic high school and makes about the same I do for coaching one sport as an assistant.

Your retiring coaches have no interest in staying on as coaches after retiring as teachers? We have had a few guys who have done that.

In lL all you need to do is pass 4 classes. So you could have 4 D's and 3 F's and still be able to play. However lots of school districts have a much more stringent policy than this.

I currently teach at a Catholic Grammar school (Junior High). The one I currently work at is a wonderful place to be. The kids are good, administrators are supportive and parents don't bother me that much. THey let me teach how I think it should be taught and my students have the test scores to back what I'm doing. If it wasnt for making 30k a year I would never think of leaving. But someday I want to own a house and have kids. It doesn't feel like Im going to work
I have also been at a Catholic school with a terrible principal who made our lives as difficult as possible. She in turn has run my former school into the ground it will likely close at the end of this school year.

I teach Math and I have never and will never failed a kid who does the the follwong three things.
1. Does their Homework 2. Behaves. 3. Seems to try.
I had a student a few years ago who almost never passed a test. Kid would be taking lower level Math in HS but nothing you can do when your a one classroom per grade, grade school. I gave him a D all four quarters.
Chances are if an Athlete fails his coaches class he is not doing these things.
