How does tri-state express play with 5 players from same school. Coached by coach on staff and play 37 games in one AAU season. Is this legal? What are the rules? I thought they had 10 days [url]http://www.irontontribune.com/news/2009/jul/25/express-finishes-3rd-national-tourney/

June 1 through July the number of players are not limited. It is probable the five players only played the past few weeks together. All other times only 2 players from one school. You cannot coach your own players grades 7~12.

Go to the OHSAA website for the rules.

i believe ohio is one of the only states around that has the # of players rule. if the other players are from ky or wv it is likely that they can all play together. does anybody know if the surrounding states have the same rules as ohio? is the team from ohio?(i cant click the link because of web filtering).

Thank you. I wish ohio would allow more freedom. Most Varsity coaches won't give up some of their 10 days to let underclassmen or women play in AAU tournaments. "The 10-day limitation applies to the entire coaching staff. Each individual coach is not entitled to 10 different days for coaching." Thanks again for clearing that up.
