I coach in VA and to my best understanding, you can add players to your Eligibility List (turned in prior to 1st game) at any time. So as far as the rules go it's probably ok. Administratively and team chemistry wise it probably shouldnt be allowed. How would you feel if you had practiced all season long and played 10+ games and your coach decided to allow a new player to join the team and he/she took your playing time. OUCH...TROUBLE ON THE HORIZON!!!
