Are Head Coaches allowed to Coach their kids in the summer for summer leagues or AAU?

Anybody? Someone's gotta know the rule in Arkansas.

I've never done anything with AAU, nor have I ever coached any of my players for AAU but from what I've read and heard a head coach from a high school can coach his/her own players for AAU as long as there are other athletes on the team that are not on the original high school team(have at least one player from another school), and the AAU team can in no way be connected to the high school as far as using high school money or equipment(including jerseys). Could be wrong, but that's what I took from it when I read up on the topic.

I believe you are correct. Other states (TX) prohibit this, but I don't believe AR does.

This only applies when school is in session. Once school is out for the summer, they can coach their own team in camps, tournaments, etc. The only exception is the dead period. During the school year, they must have at least one player that is not on their school team.

The catch is if a coach from ur school coaches an AAU team with kids from other schools and one of those kids moves to your school then it can be (probably is) a recruiting violation!
