your opinions on the sport seasons switched in school

jellygod · 04-8-2007, 08:35 PM

well i think that this is some bs, i now have to do marching band while doing tennis at the same time. I personally don't get why they did this because regardless of when the season is, as long as all of the sports get played within the school year i don't get why they switched them around. Anybody elses opinion?

Maybe a tad bit of research might ease your anger, yes? The entire district and/or state might've been having problems with tennis schedules.

Also, it may be just where you live, but why is the marching season in Spring? Ours is (officially) from Summer to early Fall.

Ah.

Still, try to figure out why. It may have been inconveniences with spring play.

All I can tell you is to negotiate with your coaches. I'm playing club soccer and band, and it worked out what you might call "decently".

Around here, they still have football players working out.

Hooray for being Texan, I guess.

Can't wait until the marching season starts again. For a period of time, that's one of the few things that actually kept my mind on school.

Up in MI they said it was some gender stuff. Something like it was sexist to have the same sport be segregated into two different seasons because they were different genders. Now tennis is in the fall, basketball is in the winter and uhh soccer is in the fall now too. I forget though >_< But it must be integrating into a lot of schools seeing as they're doing it into other states too.

Don't most schools football teams workout all year? Mine in NY does, and so do 95% of the schools around us.

This was an issue this year with the cheerleaders. Somebody sued their school for not having cheerleaders at the girls games, so this year the girls had to stay home and could never go to the away games, because girls and guys [for different sports] play on the same nights, and the cheerleaders had to stay home with the girls and cheer for them. That is one run-on sentence. I think my school is changing the girls volleyball the spring to match the guys this year, too.

Good. Now go eat a sandwich.
