RBH… don’t worry about this poster. They admitted in another thread that they have “family” who is an AD in our region. :lol: Don’t stoop to their level
Thanks for the comment. Not worried at all because this person has no idea what they are talking about.

The travel team I coached was part of the school, in this case a D1 school. Maybe travel team is the wrong words but it was definitely tied to an educational athletics environment.

One kid on the team was Phoenix Wolf. His name may sound familiar because his family moved to Waverly where Phoenix and his brother were football stars.
Travel teams are in NO WAY affiliated with the schools. Good try.
You have no clue what you are talking about!

I call it a “travel team” because they play other schools in their conference. The technical name of this school league is <Name of School> Youth Basketball Competitive League which now plays in the Cincinnati Premier League; played in the GWOC when I coached.

In the school district I live, they start these teams in 3rd grade where each grade has three teams (use to be A, B, and C teams).
Tryouts are held and 7-10 kids picked for each team based on skill, etc. Being a big school, most kids obviously don’t make a team, and the school has a different league for them similar to the leagues back in my day.

Now do you understand? I can keep trying to explain it to you, but you need to put your brain to use and at least attempt to understand.

The poster don’t want to understand, and they said before they are in Cincinnati. Funny if they do live in Cincinnati, then how do they not know about the Cincinnati Premier League!! :lol:

That’s funny right there!!

I am aware, and it's a youth rec league. Congrats, you're both again inaccurate. It's neither travel or school affiliated outside of NAME only. The Wheelersburg youth All-Star basketball team in neither funded by the school or actually a part of the school athletic programs. As you can see, these are rec leagues: 2nd-12th grade teams
Rec, High-Rec, Athletic
10 game rec/high-rec schedules
20 game rec option (3rd-6th)
20 game athletic schedules
Rec teams grouped by location
Athletic A/B/C boys divisions
Athletic A/B girls divisions
League schedules all games
League manages/assigns refs
Games at member gyms
Preseason Shootout
Post-season Tournament

You are absolutely wrong:

- First, this has nothing to do with Burg. I don’t even live in Burg.
- Second, the teams are partially funded by the school districts. There was a pay to play element to it to help cover costs.
- Third, games were played at the school gyms, both home and away. Only for special tournaments did we play at Sports Court or another 3rd party rec center.
- Fourth, practices were also held in the school gyms. Only exception was when all gyms were full. Then the school would rent out gyms in local churches for practices.
- Fifth, uniforms had school name, logos, etc. Again, all to represent the school.
- Sixth, all coaches had to go through background checks through the school in order to coach.
- Seventh, this system is the same for the school’s football program as well.
- Eight, you have to actually attend the school to play for said school.
- Ninth, these are the sports leagues these kids at these schools play. There are no other school affiliated leagues for these age brackets.
- Tenth, tryouts were held at the school’s gym. Not at a 3rd party gym, not the YMCA, but at the tax payer funded SCHOOL gyms.

So you would be right if:
- The schools did not financially support these teams.
- The schools did not provide the gyms/football fields.
- School colors and logos were not used to represent the teams.
- Fees were not paid through the school.
- Admin of background checks did not occur through the school.
- Schools offered other options outside of these teams.

I am not sure when this well end, all started over a compliment to Wheelerburg, but here goes.

1. They might have been, but they're not anymore. I am very aware of the league and my daughters actually played in them. Yes, you play in your school district, but it's no longer funded through a school. Even if it were, it's still a recreational program. It's rec league.
2. Yes, youth league games all over SEO who aren't funded by districts are played in gyms and on fields in their district. This doesn't support your point.
3. Yes, practices are still held in school gyms, no different than youth leagues in SEO.
4. Again, no different than SEO.
5. Not anymore, we had kids from other cities on our team.


This is silly. You were a youth rec coach. Flexing like you were some big bad travel coach is hilarious now Mr. Machismo. You coached youth league. Every volunteer coach has to be background checks. The Fee's are no longer paid through the school. May have been a thing years ago, not anymore.

Anyways, cool story bro, you coached your kids youth league team.

That’s what I said from the first text! The league is sponsored by and affiliated with the school. Never claimed I coached the Lakers. We called it travel ball simply because it was external to the rec, non-selective school league.

As for coaching as a career, never gave it any thought. High school coaches make squat as do most college coaches. Better chance of winning the lottery than making serious money coaching.

You do not seem to be the sharpest knife, probably have accomplished very little in life (sorry about that). But now I get why you don’t share where you went to school: don’t want to embarrass your hometown.

Lol okay buddy.

I'm quite happy with my life and the success I have had as a 20+ year educator, coach, father and husband.

No one calls rec league "travel ball". Why am I still debating with someone who doesn't know this ????

The guy who took exception to the word fear and has not been able to let it go for a month telling someone else they don't appear to have intellect is irony only lost on those unable to form an original thought. I've been fortunate to have been of state title staffs, coached great kids, seen them go onto great success in college, 2 in the pro's, and many in life. This all started with you being obtuse about my experience, and here you are as rec league coach. You can't make it up.

This entire thread has gone 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon, because of two Wheelersburg posters. Not hard to find the common denominator in all of this.

I will conclude with this. I hope Ironton keeps coach, I hope they continue to invest in their athletic programs, and I hope they lay a 50 burger on Wheelersburg in the fall.

Peace.

You do not seem to be the sharpest knife, probably have accomplished very little in life (sorry about that). But now I get why you don’t share where you went to school: don’t want to embarrass your hometown.

Lol okay buddy.

I'm quite happy with my life and the success I have had as a 20+ year educator, coach, father and husband.

No one calls rec league "travel ball". Why am I still debating with someone who doesn't know this ????

The guy who took exception to the word fear and has not been able to let it go for a month telling someone else they don't appear to have intellect is irony only lost on those unable to form an original thought. I've been fortunate to have been of state title staffs, coached great kids, seen them go onto great success in college, 2 in the pro's, and many in life. This all started with you being obtuse about my experience, and here you are as rec league coach. You can't make it up.

This entire thread has gone 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon, because of two Wheelersburg posters. Not hard to find the common denominator in all of this.

I will conclude with this. I hope Ironton keeps coach, I hope they continue to invest in their athletic programs, and I hope they lay a 50 burger on Wheelersburg in the fall.

Peace.

Yeah, a buddy of mine said he was hired another year. Since he is a nonteaching or license holding public employee, he will always be hired on a one year contract. This is very typical of coaches who have day jobs and coach in the evenings.

If he had a teaching license then he could get longer contracts. Maybe he wants to keep his options open every year.

All coaching positions are supplemental one year contracts. I am a teacher and all of my positions were one year contracts. Coaching contracts aren't part of union negotiations nor does a teacher license give you any longevity. Private schools may be different, they play by their own rules.

I’m glad you acknowledge that coaching contracts are supplementals and should be paid as such. We wouldn’t have a mile long conversation from the beginning. Coaching contracts are part of negotiations pay wise and a coaching job doesn’t have to be reposted every year if a teacher holds the position. Definitely don’t have any knowledge of how a private school works.
