CIF- cant play club and high school at same time

When she was younger, she played club. During her high school years the family had economic problems. She was living in a car for part of high school. She is a great athlete.
I don't know of any club who would turn away a player like this due to a financial issue.
 
What if the club teams just have "under-cover scrimmages" during the high school season? Seems to work out these past few months.
No club logo. Coach hiding under a tree in a hoodie and sunglasses.

If you get caught, you will get royally, royally fucked. Big big consequences. This isn't the same as practicing-during-COVID. A coach willing to risk the penalties of this isn't a coach your kids want to play for.

Caught by whom? What are some of these “Big big consequences” you speak of?

FYI......There are college coaches attending “scrimmages” in SD.

The HS would get in trouble. Not the club. And I think specifically the HS player would get in trouble- No longer allowed to participate (not sure if remainder of season or a few game suspension). And the HS team would likely have to forfeit any games that an ineligible player participated in.
If the HS coach knowingly allowed a player to play a HS game will also participating in a club game, that HS coach probably gets in trouble too.

Lots of HS sports have club coaches. Our school has the volleyball team run by a local volleyball club. Our soccer (girls) is an ex-club coach. I think our boys soccer program is run by a club coach. Pretty sure the other schools in our district have similar set ups.
 
Why would club coaches need to do hidden scrimmages during HS season? If HS is allowed to play games, club teams will be able to also. Kids will have to choose if HS keeps this rule in place.
 
If we even make it to the tier needed for soccer, which is a big if, then club soccer will finally be allowed tourneys, spring leagues, and club teams will finally be able to play games on weekends. Considering most clubs have been going half speed, do you think any of them want their players gone for 3 months for High School after the year that they have had?

Mine is going to run track. First tier back, and can do it and club soccer.
The CIF rule press release said they’re doing this because the CDPH said you can’t be participating in more than one team at a time. So that’s about “cohorting for safety”, not the standard completion rule. If that’s right, the rule would Yee that you can’t be participating on any other team in any other sport (club or HS) when you’re on a HS team. So that press release about the rule either totally wrong as to why this did that or they adopted a rule that doesn’t even do what they want. Not to mention it wouldn’t make sense once you start competing in HS because by definition you’re leaving your stable cohort when you compete anyway. None of this makes sense. Is the rule they just adopted actually just reimplementing the old rule about competing in the same sport at the same time or is it something new tans broader that would prohibit kids from playing any second sport anywhere?

With at least a few less typos this time:
The CIF rule press release said they’re doing this because the CDPH said you can’t participate in more than one team at a time. So that’s about “cohorting for safety”, not the standard competition rule. If that’s right, the rule should say that you can’t participate on any other team in any other sport (club or HS) when you’re on a HS team. So that press release about the reason for the rule is either totally wrong as to why they adopted it or they adopted a rule that doesn’t even do what they want.

If the goal is to minimize cross-team transmission, the rule will end up applying to any player participating on a second team. Even if CIF initially got the details wrong, DPH will help them fix it.

That’s correct - it prohibits you from practicing or playing any other sport while you’re playing HS.
 
If that’s right there’s tons of people unknowingly violating that requirement

In LA county some HS athletic directors & coaches have been sending out updates but besides the 10 travel quarantine notice the dual cohorts and change of the CIF dual play rule is newer so might take a while to trickle down.

The don't ask don't tell kind of things outside of schools are one tactic and not everybody follows "recommendations"

Without commenting on the propriety, people doing what they do and others knowing about it or not in terms of did you leave the county and fail to lock yourself in your house is one thing and also probably not that visible. Everyone knows and it’s visible that a bunch of cross country runners are also playing club soccer, a bunch of football players are also playing club baseball, etc. It’s very visible. If the dual play rule really isn’t sport specific (I.e., can’t play club soccer in HS season once you compete in a HS game), that’s unfortunately huge. With club soccer being close to year round, large number of athletes compete (or perhaps now they condition instead) in HS sports while playing club soccer. Is this always how the HS dual play has worked or that new? When cif said they were rescinding the waiver I kind of thought it just went back to how it has always worked as opposed to being something new.

They basically went back to the old rule that you cant play club and HS at the same time. Worked out fine in previous years since club would take a winter break. Due to COVID, they rescinded this rule back in early Fall in hopes that some sort of season might be able to be played for HS and club sports. They recongized there may be some overlap, so they were going to allow players to double up.
Now they've changed their mind because they dont want to cross contaminate players from clubs and different high schools. But when you play a HS game (someday soon. maybe) you'll be crossing with players from other schools/cities.
The whole thing is pretty silly.

So you Okay with an idea that player will practice every day (maybe twice a day) and play 4-5 games a week in between for 2 month, but everything else is silly?
 
On no. I'm not ok with it at all.
I'm not sure what my team/players will do if there is a HS season. I'll worry about it if we have an announced season at some point.
