Did they seriously? At a small school like ours, the same kids play all the sports, so we will basically have no softball team at all until we are knocked out of the basketball tournament.

They moved all the winter sports back.
tOSU hosts the wrestling Big 10 championships on the March 7 and 8th
Wrestling State tournemanet on March 14th
Girls basketball state championships on March 21th
Boys basketball state championships on March 28th

Our spring sports will be awful, if the teams manage to hang in the tournament. They will be released right as games start. What a stupid move.

Welcome to OHSAA

Our Ohio OHSAA is a freakin Joke.

The very reason why athletes get slammed with injuries. Granted I'm blessed with a kid that only plays one sport, but that was by financial decision. But if you have a stud softball player who also runs CC and plays b-ball...where's the rest on the ankles and knees? You go striaght from nationals to running with CC. Once that season is over with, you straight into b-ball. Oce that season is over, HS ball. Then when that's done, travel season. Instead of CC, she plays v-ball. Then no rest for the shoulders, arms, knees, and ankles.

So even IH OHSAA didn't move it back, where's the needed rest?

At my DD's old high school, the main issue will be inability to get conditioning/practice time in the only gym the school has ...

Considering all the sports that High School athletics offers, if there were "rest breaks" built in between seasons, each sport would last 3 weeks from Opening Day to State's.

If someone is concerned about recovery time for their youngster's body, eliminate a sport or two. You can't have it both ways.

So, if HS sectionals start the week that softball is permitted to start practice, you lose those players in hoops until your team is knocked out of tournament...I'm kind of in the belief..SO WHAT??

1) 3/4 of teams get knocked out in sectionals (50% in 1st round, next 25% 2nd round...)
2) Teams that get beyond that round, many of the players are most likely enjoying the tournament run. Its a good experience, so let them enjoy it!
3) What's another week or two anyways? Don't most think that HS softball is a waste of time until travel ball season begins?
4) A late start? Maybe 1 or 2 less games dealing with freezing rain, 20 degree windchills, and our DDs complaining how the bat rattled her hands because she was hitting a optic yellow snowball!

Yes, question my softball integrity, and I definitely enjoy being outside watching softball, EVEN in crappy Ohio weather! My choice over basketball, but IMO no big deal. DD will get 80+ games of softball minimum btw Mar-July (probably more)...she'll be OK, maybe...

Have to agree with Louuu and Thompson on this ... overall, not a big deal ... OHSAA gets blamed for everything, some of it is deserved.
