Junior Players Returning

[FlinFlonBomber]

Anyone in the know out there how the kid from Eden Prairie and White Bear were able to join their high school teams twenty plus days after the season started?

With most schools being online, they both were still enrolled in their respective HS's and taking classes online like the rest of the students, just from wherever they were playing juniors instead of mom and dad's house

And in one case the "returning player" was still in mom and dad's house the whole time.

The return of Lleyton Roed to White Bear will help the Bears, but they still lost a lot of scoring from last year.

Kids do it all the time. Before/after season with their junior team. They typically come back day 1 of practice, but there is no requirement to do so.

As I mentioned in a previous post...
An athletic director from a major Program Told me directly this summer That student-athletes In order to maintain their eligibility must be physically present in their respective School District once every 15 days.

Unless, of course, there are none or close to no students physically on campus due to distance/hybrid learning. The pandemic certainly voids that requirement.

I/he said "in the respective school district" not "on campus." Again... This communication took place Mid pandemic.

I understand. It is the "physical" element that can't be determined by a school district during distance learning modalities. The only indicator would be present for online attendance. This made it much easier for a student-athlete from MN who was playing in say, Chicago, to still be "present". Unless they are actively asking them to prove their physical presence, which I doubt is happening.

With all the moving pieces and uncertainty right now, there is expected flexibility.

Out of curiosity, why does anyone care (especially in today's world environment)?

Seems like the haters of a certain SW Metro team/coach might be inclined to raise the BS flag for a returning junior player (just like the angst they had for a senior goalie who showed up this year) and other seemingly annual irregularities.

I don't think people raising the BS flag bothers them much.
