And this is why it should be a fall sport.......... Spring in Ohio sxxxxx
Unfortunately, weather in the fall is equally as tough. Although most teams are eliminated, going off of our schedule...our games end after 6 weeks on competition. Then we have 4 weeks of thinning the heard for the championship. If we base this off our our start of the school calendar for us; we'll start approximately on August 24th with the regular season ending on first week of October. The championship game will be played around the first weekend in November. Also seeing that October also has the greatest degree temps range of any other month dropping from a nice 60 degrees to around 40 by the end of the month. Plus, this (just like March/April), tends to be rainy.
So what is you propse to begin the season sooner. THen you're asking for the tryout season for travel to start sooner because I'm sure OHSAA will have the mobnth of August booked. And for those who are at nationals, those girls are now stuck eithe playing for a national championshop or being forced by OHSAA to play for their respective teams. As much as it pains me, but the way OHSAA hurts our girls, I'd rather take the rainouts and attemot to get them postponed while keeping it in the spring.
