I think if you just have spring ball in pads like we are doing now and do away with all the team camp BS then that would suffice. And yes dip that is why i want spring ball for the install part. Very hard to go to team camp with no spring ball installation! Dip, having an indoor does NOTHING to hide from anyone at the large schools. The microscope is right on top of us. Where you are you guys could go pads 365 days out of the year and no one would ever find out! LOL!!! If we came out in pads we would have an OSSAA official in our facility in 15 minutes! Spring ball sucks at small schools because incoming 9th grader can't practice. Better for smaller schools to go helmets and do install and go to team camp for contact.(in either or situation) That why I like the either/or choice. Team camps are much better for small schools. We get great reps in spring ball. I spend the 2 days at team camp praying no one gets hurt!

yup. Was thinking the same thing.
We have 2 options fellas: 1. Find a way to help monitor ourselves, in a way that the OSSAA can legitimately save face say they are doing all they can. We have done this before. B. We can beeotch and moan and end up losing spring football or summer camps, possibly even both. I wish I could be there, but it can't be a beeotch session. Probably need to be able to bring a few ideas to the table.

Agree. Would much rather have spring ball than team camp. It would make zero sense to not allow a spring ball, but go to a full contact camp as soon as summer hits. This is already what happens with 8th graders moving to be freshmen, which doesn't make sense either.

BTW, was just screwing with you big school guys Kenny and Hands. It used to be big schools I'd scratch me head at, seeing wearing helmets on the news and such. I've actually seen a few big story 3A and 4A schools recently do this, but not the big dogs.

We are so quick whistle heavy anymore that we don't have much contact at all in practice. Especially late during the season. Inside run drill is probably the most contact we have.

I thought the venue at Winter Clinic was nice. Easy access to brew, slots, and talking football. More coaches showed up than I thought would.

I wish they would put some facts into the argument. How many concussions on average would you say you guys have a year? We are a little less than 1 a year. They are so worried about football, but limit nothing else. It is beyond frustrating. And KW is right, they do not listen at all to us.
