As a former football player, I am happy to see the limitations in practice contact. The problem is, just like in travel baseball or any other sport, some coaches will cross the line.

I've heard of 9th graders who were used as practice dummies for the varsity until the rule change. As the parent of a 9th grader, I can appreciate him not getting battered and bruised in practice...and trust me, I am not a soft parent but some things just make sense.

Do you happen to be on BOL or Rivals with the same name?

well on the limited practices rules, etc. You go a few Cobb County schools I can tell you for a fact they are practicing longer than they should. Meeting on Sundays which is an no no but hey its all about winning. Everyone will use any advantage to win.
That is why I say if you transfer from one school to another no matter if you moved or not you should have to sit a whole season from sports. That would change some things.

No, I'm not familiar with either of those sites. Guess the ol' adage that everybody has a twin somewhere is true....

That's right because all high school coaches in every sport are so open minded and responsible that they would never place your kid in a nepotistic situation, or in a favoritism situation, or in a booster donation preference situation. Yes absolutely the high school coach should be able to lock your kid down from 9th grade for four years under penalty of sit out a year. I couldn't think of any better situation to put my kid in. I pray for the day that the local high school coach has such power to do whatever he pleases cause you have no personal options of freedom.

Open up the process. Go where ever suits you. That's the way it should be.

While I agree that, at face value, this would solve a couple of problems, related only to sports, it would create so many more issues related to both sports and academics that the downside is so much more significant than any potential benefit. If you really sit down and think through all the pros and cons, I believe it will be very evident to you how bad an idea this is.

Agree, this concept is alive and well in the College world of sports and it has backfired horribly on multiple occasions.
