I understand your need to disagree and that is fine with me, but you're missing my point. Of course, some kids try to squeeze in batting practice and throwing during their other seasons and that's not who I am referring to. I am talking about the kid that has stopped playing one sport or another due to being so far behind when they do start. Your elite athletes will always be able to do multiple sports and not have to worry about catching up. However, for the most part the average high school athlete will have to do nothing but their sport during that season because 99% of the coaches around the country do not allow their players to practice other sports during their season. It'd be the same as a kid leaving after a baseball game or practice to participate in spring football practice. I don't know many baseball coaches that allow that. It creates a tremendous amount of liability and chance of injury. No coach wants to lose a starter because he got hurt practicing a different sport during your season. No good coaches will let that happen. Therefore, they go season to season and in the summer they try to play as many as they can. So an average kid coming out of basketball season that already knows he's months and months behind the other kids playing his position, usually will not waste their time even coming out. Unless they are above and beyond the other kids athletically, they will not have the same opportunities as a kid that has been practicing for months.

First off, no, I don't understand my "need to disagree"???? I disagree with you because I think you are wrong. Why punish teams/schools with restrictions because they don't have as many two sport athletes? You do realize that not every good athlete LIKES to play other sports, don't you? You also realize that not every parent can financially support their children playing multiple sports, don't you?


I'm not disagreeing with you for any other reason that you are one-sided and bias on this. Pretty obvious. Now, let's enjoy the perfect baseball weather for this upcoming week. :biglmao: Or should we place restrictions on the teams that have indoor facilities since it may be unfair this next week on those who don't have the opportunity?
