More detail on the action taken by the MSHSL rep assembly this morning …

The soccer rule change, which is supported by the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association, will take effect this year. It makes it a violation for high school soccer players to also play on a non-school team once the high school season begins.

That means players must end their participation on non-school teams by Aug. 16 this year, because the first day of practice for high school soccer is Aug. 17. Without the rule, coaches and administrators fear that players will not have sufficient time to rest and recover.

The other change — the no-contact period from July 1 through July 7 – will be implemented in 2010.
