What are some TSSAA regulations by which the school must abide with regard to hiring coaches?
Head coaches for upper school baseball, football, basketball, softball, and track must be employees of the school. Coaches cannot recruit players from other schools, which includes initiating contact with a student or parent at another school with the purpose of encouraging a school transfer. Once a student contacts our admission office then coaches can talk with potential students, but cannot exercise undue influence. In the upper school, there can be only two assistant coaches in any sport who are not employees of the school or meet other criteria such as teaching at another school or being a retired teacher and/or coach.
