Coaching year-'round; Good idea or bad?
So the CIF Southern Section has eliminated its "association" rule that restricted the amount of time high school coaches could work with their athletes during the off season, which opens the door for what basically could become year 'round programs.
A down side to this is that some observers feel this will create situations that limit an athlete's participation to just one sport and force them to specialize because coaches will be able to require more time of them.
An upside is that athletes who want to specialize will be able to spend more time with their coach and, at least theoretically, develope their skills more quickly.
No more assciation restrictions, more freedom to coach.
Good idea, or bad, for coaches and/or student/athletes?

I believe it's a bad idea. I coach h.s. t & f. At this time it's difficult to get athletes to cross over to participate in t & f. It used to be common for athletes who did football, basketball and baseball even to participate in track. I think it benefits athletes to participate in track because of the increase in stamina and strength from running which is seem is not done much in other sports. Plus as someone previously stated, burnout will become more prevalent. Maybe not burned out from the sport so much but tired of the same coaches day in and day out.
:o)
Our high school student-athlete has been on the same competitive club team since age 10.
Although our child is on a successful high school team, high school athletics has been purely for school pride and the social aspect. If you create a situation where our player has to choose between the existing club team and playing year-round for the high school coach, there is no contest - the club team stays.
Coaches egos are already out of control and some are ruining the experience for high school players now. Let's not give them more control without putting more control on the coaches themselves.
In baseball, the new rule will allow coaches to keep their core guys playing year around if they choose to. They could pursue Junior Olympics berths, which is a great experience for the kids (a tournament with hundreds of the best 15 and 16 year old travel ball players), play in 18U or 16U travel leagues, etc. The rule could be tough physically and emotionally for these teen ballplayers if a coach chose to play 20 summer legion games, then 20-30 fall/winter games, assorted tournaments, then the 25+ in the season.
Injury and burnout could become a problem for some kids. But these kids play a ton of games anyway, so it is about time the coaches can be open about it and build their teams and program.
Well, at least SP wont have to prectice in the gym anymore for the 2 week shut down!!!!!!!
This rule should have been in place long ago! The only sport that really was restricted was football. All the other major sports have off-season leagues that are basically year-round. Specializing in one sport is anecdotally enforced by baseball coaches. The only major sport coach that I know encouraged multiple sport participation was the previous CalHi coach. I'm sure others allow it, but it will be up to AD's to manage this. Hopefully the coaching egos don't ruin our student-athletes' HS experience. Nothing worse than the coaches who deny kids the opportunity to compete by brainwashing and bullying.
