In the future TD's need to be aware of the dates of the ACT/SAT tests especially in the fall and winter so that they do not schedule high profile (or any other) 16U /18U tournaments on the weekends when the ACT/SAT tests are scheduled. Clearly, academics should be the highest priority for the girls but when big tourneys are scheduled the girls feel an obligation to play ball instead of taking the test which is only given a few times each year. For example, there are several 16U/18U tourneys that are scheduled this fall on the same day as the first ACT/SAT test that Juniors and Seniors can take in September. This is not fair to the girls.
Just a thought for future scheduling.
