| Summary: | If member schools choose to hold off-season sports specific work-outs but due to facility and time restraints, member schools can have the following option limiting coaches to 2 hours per week for a maximum of 10 weeks. "Sport specific" workouts (does not include weight lifting and conditioning) Note: Anytime a coach works sports specific skills with an athlete, that time counts toward the 2-hour team total for that sport that week. | |||
| Rationale: | This would be a benefit to multi sport coaches and facility scheduling. Some athletes are already doing 2 1-hour workouts per week (Tues/Thurs) so this wouldn't add anything to their plate but would allow multi sport coaches to do it in one setting as opposed to needing 3 time slots to workout 12 players Winter Sports 2 hours start Week 10 Spring Sports 2 hours start week 25 Fall Sports 2 hours start week 38 | |||
| Pros: | This is another route a school can go with managing coaches. Allows more coaches to coach other sports in your building. | |||
| Cons: | ||||
