Good question. I wouldn't think there is any rules against that but don't know for sure. Any coaches know the answer to this?
Depends on the state. In IL, for HS, you cannot do this.
I've never heard of this rule for high school. What would be the rationale for prohibiting it?
Not exactly a recent example, but the Torres twins did this while they were in HS and never got in trouble for it.

Fixed.
In Ohio, there are all kinds of businesses promoting this. It is more geared to ball sports where they work with the athletes to get them in overall better shape or to rehab after an injury.

Why would it be? A coach could make a "private" rule but a governing body is going to be reticent about making rules restricting private action. Both the NCAA and high school associations are state actors and thus subject to the limitations placed on them by the constitution.
Why do you ask? Are you coach whose athletes are being coached privately?
They used a person coach out of season. Jorge did use one once during the season, but then did not compete as a member of the Wheeling team.
