OSSAA recently held their October Area Meetings at several sites. There were 16 items on the agenda. What are your thoughts on #16?
16. Require all athletic activities to have a beginning and ending of season. Currently, we only restrict football, basketball, wrestling and soccer. |

The excluded sports are considered "year round" sports and don't have a time limit for their workouts during their off-season. EXAMPLE: Football, basketball, wrestling and soccer can practice only during their athletic hour or for one hour during their "off-season" workouts. Baseball, volleyball, softball, etc. can practice unlimited everyday if they choose during their "off-season" workouts.

I love it too! Maybe it'll help the wear and tear on the bodies of some of these young athletes. But, in most all those other sports listed all the kids play on club teams year round anyways! Wish there was something that could be done about that too!

Wish there was something that could be done about that too!Just had a meeting with a kid that pays $1000 a summer playing baseball with traveling teams. This is on top of his playing HS baseball and out HS baseball summer league. |

KD what's your take on this? Our school is definitely for the change. We think it limits some kids the opportunity to play multiple sports. Club teams will still get their share of our athletes, but at least the kids will get some relief. In the past, smaller schools did not want to adopt this change. Like anything, there are pluses and minuses to all changes.
I hope recent discussion has changed the thoughts of the smaller schools. I'm positive this question will go out to the membership this Spring for a vote.
Make sure your voting delegate is educated on the subject and hopefully we will get what is best for everyone involved.

I agree with the change, not having a start time allows those coaches the chance to "encourage" specialization. Limit all sports and allow kids the opportunity to play what they want

I would hope that affected sports teams coaches would make a recommendation and that recommendation be considered by the ADs prior to the proposal to OSSAA. |

good stuff. And yes, it would definately limit undue pressures put on sports with limits. I was asked at one place if my kids could throw Thursday nights during football season. I said no, which was my right. Or Wednesday night shoot arounds and such. Would limit those to some degree as well.

Baseball should be limited. No need for a kid to play year round.
