I am a current parent, and I am outraged.  I don't have anything to do with the baseball team, but the whole setup just stinks.  It's unethical to start, [b]likely against WCAC rules[/b], and sends completely the wrong message for a Catholic school.

What are the WCAC rules on this? They aren't on the conference's web site. Are coaches really allowed to force players to be on their club teams during the offseason? I don't think this happens in basketball (guys play Takeover, Durant and other AAU teams). Football doesn't really have club. I don't know enough about soccer and lacrosse. Do other WCAC baseball coaches do this?[/quote][/quote]

How about these from the WCAC Code of Ethics:

[i]Assuring that the actions of coaches and administrators are consistent with Catholic values and exhibit fairness, openness, respect and honesty in their relationships with student-athletes, the public, and each other.
Expecting Christian sportsmanship from all constituents, including student-athletes, coaches, administrative personnel, and spectators;
Giving primary emphasis to in-league competition and conference championships;
Keeping competition focused on the welfare and development of student-athletes;[/i]

I'd say throwing kids off a team and forcing them to transfer because they refuse to participate in a pay-to-play scheme pretty much violates all of these.[/quote]
