Is it a violation of Ohio High School rules to tell kids the teams have already been picked prior to try outs or is it just bad form?
Definitely multiple teams and there will be 30-40 kids cutNot if there's only one team at that school and they take everyone lol
Yes but it sounds like the original post was saying the coach stated that the teams were already picked. If he did this why would some girls even try out. I don't know if its a violation but definitely not cool.With preseason conditioning, camps, and other observations, I would imagine every coach has a good idea who will be on what team before try outs. If I were to guess, evaluations start in February or March when returning players and incoming freshmen turn in information sheets to the coach.
At a large school, it would be hard for a non club player to make the varsity team. That seems logical to me but might not be 100% true.
Right, plus there are incoming Freshmen that the coach may not have had exposure to, as well as the occasional new student that may have moved into the district. Also, a current player could get hurt, lose interest in the sport, stop progressing, etc....A good coach should always keep his/her options openYes but it sounds like the original post was saying the coach stated that the teams were already picked.

As I understand it, there needs to be a tryout and that would be the first session of the year with mandatory attendance. Sure, each coach has an "idea" of what the teams will look like, but it's definitely bad form to announce it. Kids have vacations, jobs, other sports, regionals, nationals, etc... over the summer and should be properly evaluated once everyone is there.Yes but it sounds like the original post was saying the coach stated that the teams were already picked.

Not a violation, just bad form.Is it a violation of Ohio High School rules to tell kids the teams have already been picked prior to try outs or is it just bad form?
Incorrect. True, coaches have an idea of how things will play out, but MANY times, kids come to tryouts, show well, and coaches make changes/additions.Teams are already picked before tryouts in every HS program and for that matter select. Coaches have seen what they needed to see leading up to them. Tryouts are just a dog and pony show for the parents. Allows the AD to say.........Hey we had tryouts, Lil Mia just did not make the cut.
Agree. Obviously Bucky has never coached before. While coaches have a good idea, often there are spots up for grabs. I would say it would be common that on an 18 man roster, 13-15 of the spots are set and the rest up for grabs. Of course, this is a broad generalization...Incorrect.
