The Central Coast Section recently issued a reminder that during the high school year, prep teams and athletes are not permitted to play two seasons of any sport.

After basketball ended in March, for example, a school team is not allowed to participate as a school identified/sponsored team in any outside organization’s program the rest of the school year.

The CCS warns prep teams to stay away from college camps advertising high school jamboree tournaments and city leagues beginning in early June because it is still considered part of the 2001-02 school year.

Coaches are urged to check with their athletic departments before committing to any competition that may jeopardize their school’s good standing with the CCS, as well as their students’ future high school athletic career.

For more information, call the CCS at (408) 441-9505.
