WIAA extends coaches' summer contact

Wisconsin high school soccer coaches will be allowed unlimited contact with players during the summer, after the WIAA membership voted Wednesday to grant the sport the same rights previously given to coaches in nine other sports.

The amendment to the WIAA the Rules of Eligibility was passed by a 183-117 margin at the organization's annual meeting in Stevens Point – two years ago, the same amendment was defeated by a 130-173 vote.
