Look at football and basketball, because that's what I was referring to. Everyone said they would walk everyone throughout high school, the athletes started believing it, and didn't work to be good. [/quote]Very true, as an alumni it really sickens me to see the athletics program suffer like this. It seems like that the only sport that gets any extra training for during the off-season is baseball. Growing up in Hamshire, I never saw kids actually working out on football and basketball as I did for baseball.

What is it going to take to turn things around in the program? Is it just that the talent is lacking or do the coaches have the dedication to turn their program around? Or a combination or both? I don't know the coaches so I can't comment on them. The one thing that I do notice is that the middle school programs fair well in sports. But I also understand you can't base future performance from middle school heroics. Kids develop at different stages. Some grow in height faster than others and stop growing. Some become slower in foot speed as others speed on. You can't keep the same workout routine you had in the 8th grade and expect to be successful in high school. Which may be why in high school the HF program seems to hit a down-slide. So, what is it going to take?

team first Posted November 3, 2009 Report Posted November 3, 2009 Dove....Will your kid or the 2013-2015 teams reach their full potential out there??? Will the universal off-season help them become the reg. finalist you thought they may become? Is the AAU circuit enough to propel them to the title...Alot to be desired and alot to be known here in a few short years.

My kid (actually I have two :P)nor AAU has nothing to do with Hamshire winning a state title in 2015. One kid can't play 4 other opposing players by himself. Hmmm? I've never seen in box -n-4 ;) But anyway, when you mix in some of Hamshire's 2013,2014 and 2015 players, you will have a group of good ball players who can go all the way to State. Sure there are other factors involved, darn football for one. Why risk injury playing on sub par football teams that may not go anywhere? Coaching is another. I have no idea who are the coaches nor their experiences. But I hope they are good. But you are right about a couple of things: A lot to be desired and a lot will be known in a few short years.Now, if we can just get the boys to believe the hype :D
team first Posted November 3, 2009 Report Posted November 3, 2009 Actually the AAU circuit has alot to do with schools that have universal off-seasons and want to be good in H.S. basketball..If they dont play in school..they better be playing somewhere or...see ya.blown by...What happened, look how strong we are, why cant we make those jumpers???

I'm not following what you are saying. First of all, if you're in high school playing, its summer ball and not AAU ball. AAU ball usally has ages from 8 years on up to 14 years old and they have age and grade requirements and you pay the organization dues to participate in sanctioned tournaments. So I am assuming you are talking about summer ball for high school students. Futhermore, I think it's a myth if you lift weights in [font=Verdana]high school [/font] you will miss your jumpers or whatever. It's good to strengthen your self and it gives you a mental advantage of feeling strong and ready to compete. In high school, I have no problem with the kids doing weights. Their bodies are stronger and need the added muscle to battle.
team first Posted November 4, 2009 Report Posted November 4, 2009 Sir or Mam?..Actually AAU is played until kids graduate from h.s. which is about 18 yrs old..Little dribblers is usually played from 8 to 14 yrs old, with a few exceptions...The posters who talk about the universal off-season have a pretty good idea of what it does for the average h.s. basketball program...Which is not much..Most basketball coaches are looking for basketball players, not guys who look good in a mirror.

Universal Off Season is a code word for "Make em all football players because every other sport is secondary" Thats fine if everyone is on the same page and the only priority is to make football a success. However, if a school/coach/administration chooses to embrace the Universal Off Season approach, that school will definitely "pay the price" in other sports and it seems to be most evident in basketball. The "Whats wrong with UOS, it will just make them bigger, stronger, and faster" theory sounds good but the results do not support the theory. If the players need to lift weights, why not let it be done under the supervision of the primary sport coach?
