Katy Tiger baseball team to forfeit 20 games


Recommended Posts

WOW.  there are some local teams who need to look into this rule.

  1. (a)  NOT AN AMATEUR. For purposes of competing in an athletic contest, a student in grades 9-12 is not an amateur if that individual, within the preceding 12 months received money or other valuable consideration for teaching or participating in a League sponsored school sport or received valuable consideration for allowing his or her name to be used in promoting a product, plan or service related to a League contest or accepted money or other valuable consideration from school booster club funds for any non-school purpose. It is a violation of the athletic amateur rule for parents of student athletes to accept tickets to athletic contests where their children are participating. It is also a violation for parents of student athletes to accept free pass gate admission to athletic contests where their children are participating unless they are at the contest in another capacity, i.e., if the parent is an employee of the school or a board member, or working at a concession booth, etc. (See Official Interpretations #11 and 12, Appendix I.)

So, they received money for helping out with a youth baseball team.  

IMO, based on the article, they were being paid to do nothing. That's the problem.

Lots of pkayers provide "lessons" to young kids and parents pay for the lessons. Pretty sure this is not a violation.
