Found the "Practice and Participation" "squad" rules. Not one rule, but a rule laid out in the General Rules for each individual field sport, i.e.: BB, BB, FB, VB, soccer.

Will explain why this is a bad rule later, especially for small towns, in the "KSHSAA Private and Parochial School Sports forum Topic.

Have to go to a middle school soccer game this AM. There are few if no off season sports (club or recreational) for middle and high school age kids in KC-especially for a growing Hispanic population. In KCKS HS soccer is 95+%% Hispanic. So, USD 500 two years ago started a middle school socer program--Great. Doesn't cost much, every MS fields a big team, and what I think is significant is that it brought a lot of inner city white, black, and Asian kids into the sport. Besides, USD 500 has none of the country club sports that other schools spend money on.
