While everyone talks about football, that's not great for the other

sports. Volleyball for example, plays in the fall for high school and then travel season starts in December/January. That's a hard sport to play for two teams at the same time and honestly, the travel sports are more important than the high school teams. You could see the top players only playing travel and not high school. I think Softball already has that problem.

That's 100% true for volleyball. The HS coaches do not teach... -- Spud 06/05/2020 08:56AM

Well, there are some advantages on the high school level, at least here -- VTNuke 06/05/2020 09:13AM

If kids elect to not play HS - just allows for more participation in HS ** -- bigbadbird 06/05/2020 08:57AM

And a far worse level of play. ** -- VTNuke 06/05/2020 09:16AM

Maybe ** -- bigbadbird 06/05/2020 09:26AM

There's no maybe about it. If a high school team had any national travel -- VTNuke 06/05/2020 10:16AM

My kids play sports and we do travel and HS -- bigbadbird 06/05/2020 10:49AM

They started back in April for Fort Dorchester- ** -- bigbadbird 06/05/2020 08:11AM

Isn’t April a prohibited practice period for fall sports in SC? ** -- GreenvilleVT 06/05/2020 08:39AM

They got caught I am pretty sure - and were told to STOP IT ** -- bigbadbird 06/05/2020 08:40AM

I promptly emailed him back....saying that I appreciate how hard this is -- HokieGator 06/04/2020 11:32PM

Agree 100%. The hybrid model seems unmanageable and solves little -- RUHokie 06/05/2020 02:17AM

I agree. Unfortunately they all agreed there is no chance we have a "normal -- HokieGator 06/05/2020 08:07AM

Geez. If this is going to be the new normal, I'm just going to... -- MP4VT2004 06/05/2020 08:23AM
