When I went to school, all coaches were teachers. Period. Today apparently there are hired-gun coaches that have no other connection with the school? Is that right? Also, the idea of your coach also coaching a club team didn't exist because club teams didn't exist.
Does GHSAA regulate this in any way? Isn't it a clear conflict of interest for a high school coach to coach another team or be an executive of a soccer club? I can see all sorts of issues with kids feeling compelled to join the coach's club team and coaches having no loyalty to the school.

Check here for the particular conflict you are looking for. Many high school coaches also train individuals on the side. Many club coaches who coach one gender in club coach a different gender in high school. You can look thru the rules yourself and see if there is a violation based on the particular set of circumstances you have

Most high school coaches do train at club also but cannot coach players club team. Also they mostly teach gym or social studies!

As paterfamilias said, typically club coaches will coach a different gender in each. GHSA has rules in place where you are not allowed to work with more than 2 kids from your HS team during the school year (conditioning, weight training is not included in that).
From the rule book: (c) A GHSA coach (certified teacher or community coach) may not coach a non-GHSA team in a competitive setting during the school year that includes any player(s) who participate in the sport he/she coaches at the member school. EXCEPTION: In a situation in which the child or step-child of the coach is the only player on a non-school team from the coach’s school, the coach would be exempted from this rule.

I've seen that rule and I've heard the 'no more than 2' statement. The rule doesn't allow 2, as I read it. Where does the exemption for up to 2 players come from?

From my understanding, you cant coach a team with your players on it during the school year regardless (unless its your own child). The no more than 2 is applicable only if you are doing separate training with the individuals (with a ball outside of season during the school year) not in a competitive play/team setting. Coaches can only condition and weight train with really no restrictions outside of the activities being "voluntary". I think GHSA likes to make the rules confusing for everyone.
