Message: [QUOTE="Zinethar, post: 4392716, member: 8436"] I strongly believe that participating in multiple sports in their season is a benefit to athletes in many ways. The recent trend for off season training has hurt several high school sports in my area. I was coaching Track and Field in 2012 and the week before the Sectional Championship I had several athletes tell me they couldn't attend practice because they had soccer practice! I looked into it and discovered they indeed did have a soccer practice on the school grounds and it was (not legally in terms of regulations) being required in order to participate the following fall! I complained to the AD who apologized to me (sort of)by saying allowed it because the spring season was over!!! It seems the baseball team was done. He did cancel their use of school facilities until after our meet but the practices were just moved to a village park. [/QUOTE]
