Here are a few of the Q&As from the OHSAA website. Basically, only in June/July and a max of 2 players from the previous school season.

If my son or daughter plays on an AAU or Non-Interscholastic team, can I coach them if I am a school coach?
Answer: Only during the June 1 – July 31 period of time. Coaching one’s own players is prohibited outside the season other than those dates and
no exception is provided for families.
But if the General Sports Regulation 8.6 now permits instruction to 4 or less individuals, wouldn’t this permit me to coach my son or
daughter playing on an AAU or Non-Interscholastic team if I am a school coach?
Answer: No, the language of “8.6” permits individual skill instruction when 4 or less are present in all combined facilities. So, even though there may
only be 2 individuals from the same school on an “AAU” team, there are still more than 4 present which would prohibit this outside the season and
outside of June/July.
Can a Junior High coach from my district coach HIGH SCHOOL players in non-interscholastic basketball (such as “AAU”) outside the
season of play?
Answer: Yes…IF the supplemental contract the Junior High coach signs does not require him/her to coach additionally during practice at the high
school level (and most do not stipulate that). Simply look at the contract you sign….and if does not stipulate that, then you ARE permitted to do so.

Yes, I read those but none of it clarified my question. I will probably just have to ask my AD or call OHSAA.

I think the answer is yes, but only if none of them are your current players.

Dave Dennis is the coach at Harvest Prep, his AAU team won the national title, 4 of those players aren't from pickerington but play at Harvest Prep. Guess they didn't learn their lesson when they got the death penalty

Is it because HP is a private school and they are not restricted by the boundaries that public schools are as far as OHSAA eligibility?

This is one area that I would no take advice on a social media site. Contact OHSAA on Monday and get ruling in an email to keep.

That AAU team you mentioned had 2 kids from Zanesville that tried to go to Prep(coincidence...) but they got some heat for it I guess and Aronhalt took them back I hear. Hardly a level playing field but...until they rules change....need to step up and beat them!

I don't see how with individual workout stuff any varsity coach would have time or want to coach any other kids but their own. Call me crazy
