The so-called HS leagues in the north Texas area are not really HS nor are they associated with Texas' UIL or Fed Rules. These are parent-coached teams typically made up of all, or nearly all, players from a HS team and the leagues are a mechanism for the players to play as a team in the Fall. They are frequently used by the HS coaches as a way to evaluate Freshmen and new players and a way to evaluate players that may move up to varsity the next Spring. But the HS coaches don't coach, they sit in the stands and watch. All of the HS Fall Leagues with which I am familiar are formed just like any other Fall league and many allow any area team to play. All of the ones I know about are sanctioned ASA leagues requiring the players and coaches to be ASA registered, with ASA cards, and have requisite team insurance.
