One nice thing about hanging your hat on some type of passing attack; your QBs and WRs can rep it all summer long. Even if you've just got a QB and a couple WRs in the backyard- they can rep the attack a lot. I wouldn't call it cheating; just one of the perks of running that specific attack. yeah, you don't see kids practicing handoffs on their own.

I believe, in the great state of Virginia, that the person who is responsible for reporting illegal practices would be the AD. And since most of the ADs around here are basketball coaches, they don't have time to report violations during the summer because they've got practice. All you can do is run a clean program, you can't change what other people do. You're preaching character and developing men to your kids, then you're cheating. Not the way I'd do it. Congratulations on winning the wife lottery, gamedog I find this especially ironic when Christian/Catholic schools do this. These are the same coaches that give praise to Jesus after every game, give me a break, but tweak the rules as to be advantageous to them and their program. I especially think it is funny that these guys call these "unorganized practices" voluntary get togethers. Please, there is no gray area. If your meeting with your kids outside of the alloted time frame that your state athletic association allows, and those meetings enhance football skills and are meant for that purpose, than you are cheating, plain and simple. Lets be honest, you can call it hand eye coordination drills, but don't these kids get enough of that playing madden? After all, would Christ be ok with someone bending the rules as long as they aren't broke? No he wouldn't. The bible clearly takes a stnce on this and says that you either on one side of the fence or the other when it comes to living wrong. There is no gray area. I am not going to get all holy roly.

Yes, you should be bothered by this. I was amazed to go to a state qualifying 7 on 7 tournament (Texas) and a 7 on 7 league recently and see coaches from my district as well as other coaches from around the state calling offensive plays and defenses from the sideline.
This is strictly forbidden and our district has even made a point in the past to tell the coaches not to break these rules. Yet, they do it anyway. I have the same dilemma - do you report these unethical coaches to the distric office or do you join them, knowing that what you are doing is wrong?

In my experiences, 7 on 7 is the most corrupt thing going in Texas. I see HS coaches coaching the kids all the time and transporting them to games. Gamedog is correct, most are spread guys.....but not all. Tog is right..if you report it, you run the risk of being blackballed.....so???

Went to a QB camp in MN a couple summers ago and the hosting school was holding AM practice in late June. Asked about it and a guy told me that Minnesota has done away with all restrictions. On balance, I think that is a good idea. It has never made sense to me that, here in South Dakota, you can go to a team/individual camp whenever it is scheduled and pad up, play 7 on 7, whatever, but you cannot do anything with your kids otherwise. I guess if your kids have the time and money they can pay to play, but that leaves everyone else behind the 8-ball.

It is especially bad if the kids know that their coach is breaing the rules, which they do. What message does it send to them?
