Don't know, but while looking, I did see that the start of high school soccer season( along with all spring sports) has been pushed back...first contest is listed as March 9 on the '08-'09 sports calendar (back from March 3 this year) and playoff qualifying isn't until May 11-12 (May 12 was girls semi-finals this year).

Interesting how it seems the season keeps getting pushed later...


I've got good news and bad news...

Makes sense to push it back a little. Most students are in school until June, right now the state final is played with three or four weeks remaining in the school year.

Why should tryouts/practice begin the third week of January, when winter sports (basketball) are barely half way through their game schedule?

I like the idea of starting a little later. Let the weather warm up a little.


Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.

Not sure it will make that much difference for students coming off of basketball; still only 2 days between basketball finals and the first contest of spring sports, just like this year. I don't mind waiting for some spring weather, though--although it's not as much of an issue down here in Charleston--the downside is playing the late-season games in the HEAT!

I tell you what will make a difference in SC...

With Club regionals starting earlier and HS soccer finishing later it will become a problem (it already is to a lesser extent) for those players needing to train for regionals. HS ball is not enough training..
