thank you, Maryland is forcing the girls to play in the spring, at the same time as the boys. It is a foolish idea;
1) courts must be shared
2) coaches must choose to coach girls or boys
3) Bad weather
4) it will limit participation
Dont forget about the sexual tension!yeah the boys and girls seasons need to be split up. like you mentioned, shared courts and not enough court time that's needed for all the players is the biggest one.
Dont forget about the sexual tension!
Dont forget about the sexual tension!
Or they may harden their skills in order to impress the ladies!you're right how could i forget. the boy's game would decline so fast.
and do boys and girls play during the same season ?
Why are the switching girls' tennis season to Spring?
The other counties feel the Montgomery County girls have an unfair advantage playing in the fall.
We've been getting so many rainy days lately. I don't know where the girls had their try-outs and where they are practicing and playing matches?Because Montgomery County Maryland has dominated the state tournament. They are the only county in the state that has the girls in the fall and the boys in the spring. The other counties feel the Montgomery County girls have an unfair advantage playing in the fall. So, the other counties voted that all students must play in the same season as the state tournament to be eligible ... which means they must play in the spring.
The boys tennis season starts March 1 in Montgomery County. We have to deal with cold weather and snow. The girls do not get much snow when they start in August.
In my opinion, anyone can practice tennis at anytime, anywhere. If the other schools feel Montgomery county has an unfair advantage, what's stopping them from practicing tennis in the fall anyway? Not Montgomery's fault they are so dam good. The other schools can be too if they put in the work to match them in the "off season" in the fall time.
There might be some rules about this. Mandated "off season" practices could be a violation of some rules that are in place. Even so, it might happen anyway.
Around here, anyone on the HS varsity team and many on the JV team attend private clinics year round here. But playing in the Fall has an advantage of having outdoor courts available during the summer for additional practice leading into the sport season. I suppose in the Spring, everyone forgot how to play outdoors.There are no mandated off-season practices anywhere in Maryland. The best players play year round in private clinics and private lessons. The notion that the MoCo girls have a special advantage playing in the fall is absurd.
