[quote=Anonymous]Some HS coaches make hundreds of thousands funneling current and potential players into their off season travel orgs or those of their peers (a kind of quid pro quo). It is often an open secret that t playing for these orgs is a requirement for most.

Coaches can’t directly coach their players in the HS off season (except for Green Days), but that doesn’t stop them from taking families money through travel sport teams and workout facilities. Maybe VHSL and high schools don’t disclose this coaching scheme because then they couldn’t find coaches to hire if they didn’t look the other way?

VHSL (and other state governing bodies), should require coaches, at a minimum, to disclose their outside HS sport associations. Better if parents had an idea of how much each coach profited from those associations.

[b]What organization(s) do your HS coaches own or work for in the off-season? [/b]

This isn’t a should they or shouldn’t they be able to profit on the side. More of a heads up for parents of future HS players. Plenty of parents with bubble athletes are left in the dark. I’ve seen more than one family in that situation. It is almost intentional.

In baseball, perhaps the most prominent example is MVP from which *I think* all local HS coaches get a cut.
