This is exactly the type of post I was looking for (outside of the names of the schools) when I started this thread. It also, shows how things are interpreted differently.

Since you shared your experience, I will share my in regards to this situation.

When my daughter completed public school 8th grade I contacted the local catholic school. Now, we knew for a very long time that she would be attending this high school. The day after she was promoted I called one of the coach's of the sport she would be trying out for. After telling her who my daughter was and that she was coming to their school in the fall, the coach asked me what parish school she went to. When I told the coach that she went to a public school, the coach IMMEDIATELY told me that we could no longer talk about the school or sports until officially enrolled in that school. I was then directed to the school administration to become enrolled.

Now, during her freshman year I volunteered to get the message out about "grade school night." I was given VERY specific directions on who and how I can/could contact kids. I could only take flyers to the parish schools. I could only send direct mailings to parish students and kids that have attended a camp in the past. Those that are out of parish and attended a camp, during that camp they must have provided contact information and checked the box that they wanted to receive information through the mail. I understood the parish school kids part but not the out of parish school kids part. Specifically how we could only contact kids that attended the camp. It was explained to me that because they only advertised for the camp publicly(newspaper, billboards) that they were not targeting a specific students but all students. So, just like a public legal notice, so to speak, attending was open to everyone. Then the ones who chose to the attended camp were then filled out a questionnaire. Including in that were forms they were asked if they would like additional information.

I continued to organize "grade school night" all four years for that sport and filled this role for years following my daughters graduation. Until we moved from the area. These instructions were given out every year regardless of how many years I worked on this event.

This is how I was "educated" on the process, right or wrong. This is how I understand it to be when I see the rules. I read it as, recruiting is never permitted and that contact is permitted at times with restrictions.

So you are saying that you think what I shared would break the rules? What if we attend a catholic church (just the church not the school) that is a feeder school?
