Open Gyms and 8th Graders
Posted: 10/23/2012
Q: Can we have an "open gym" for our high school boys basketball players along with 8th graders from feeder schools?
A: Open gyms are for your students so 8th graders would not be involved. Best to have a MS open gym separately. During the summer, 8th graders from your feeder school may attend HS open gyms. Technically – the Open Gym Text contained in II-D of attached identifies open gym being allowed so long as it is available to all the students in the "designated population of that school." Nothing prevents your coach from offering to supervise a middle school open gym.
