It was agreed on from the beginning that basketball would get two days a week during volleyball season for any [b]girls coordinator[/b] that came to OF.

Is that what they call them at Orangefield, coordinators, not coaches?

I am with Bleed, if you have volleyball players that play basketball, they should concentrate on the sport at hand which is currently volleyball.

When basketball starts, then just basketball.

Dang Aggie, I just love it when we agree!!!Wouldn't you think girls coordinators are suppose to help all teh girls programs and not just his......

Aggie, I just love it when you and I agree!!!!  I always thought a girls coordinator was suppose to support all the girls programs and not just the one he/she coached....

Bleed, the girls don't even get to touch a volleyball during athletics now, what makes you think they get to touch it 1 day a week during basketball.....I think what you are talking about is the girls that want to work on their volleyball skills on a day that doesn't involve a school practice/game....If a kid wants to work on his or her other multiple sports on a Saturday/Sunday or 7pm at night, why is that anyone elses business other than the Parents that are paying for it??  And Rizon, glad to see you support as well.....

Actually my post was talking about the weekends. Still disagree, no basketball during volleyball season and no volleyball during basketball season. Plain and simple. Parents, well don't get me started on them.  ;D ;D

Athletic period is 50 mins long.  ::)

So does that mean it is OK to practice one sport while another sport is in season? 50 minutes are not, there is a volleyball season and a basketball season. Football players do not play basketball during football seaon. Why should it be any different for the girls? Just asking?

It means exactly what it says.  The period is 50mins long if you're still confused ask AAW, but when you try to send him a message make sure you don't send it to the person you're talking about.

Volleyball has weeks before school even starts to practice, basketball overlaps volleyball, so if you're not doing anything basketball related you're just going to be that much futher behind.  I don't think two days a week 50 mins at a time is what's hurting Orangefield's volleyball team.

I don't think that is what is hurting volleyball either but that is not the subject at hand. But that could be a problem in the future. I am basketball no doubt but I want the Orangefield girls to be good at everything but not at the expense of another sport. Plain and simple. Play the sport in season.

Volleyball is before basketball so no that wouldn't really make sense...Do you think it is a good idea to just go into basketball season without having any kind of practice?  Even if it's only twice a week for 50 mins each time, I think it helps keep the rust off.

They don't think that way on the boys side. It should be the same for the boys and the girls. Rust, don't worry about that no matter how much you practice the "RUST" will always be there in some shape or form. Yes, I do think it is OK to go into a season without any practice. Who cares about preseason. Wins and Losses are only counted by parents. District losses are counted by coaches.

Volleyball had exactly 6 practice days (two of which were devoted to scrimmages) before the start of their season....how that translates into WEEKS, I have no idea.

Sorry to weigh in on 21-3A, but I gotta agree with Bleed.  if you decide to be multi-sport, then stick with the official program you're in.  If you are dedicated to moving on in a different sport than the one in season, you can find some "unofficial" time to stay sharp.

Funny though, how much easier it is to find a pick-up basketball game in the off-season than a pick-up volleyball game LOL.

This is some of the same "stuff" that has been going on at OF.
Why are the girls treated diffrently then boys. Boys playing football and basketball
surely are not just practicing basketball now are they?

I watched a very talented OF 8th grade Volleyball team play WOS last night and
get beat pretty badly and I know the girls are doing nothing right
now other than practicing basketball and running track (conditioning).

Tell me why?........half way through district and we have stoped practicing volleyball????

Are we not getting 8th graders ready for high school at OF????

Are the boys not practicing football in the 8th grade now?.....I Dont think so!!!

Same song diffrent verse......and I am to believe all kids boys and girls are treated equally????

Tell it to some one that does not know better....

It wouldn't be right if I didn't stir the pot a little.... ;D.....  I think HF, OF, SILSBEE, WOS and BC should all concentrate on softball, volleyball and track during basketball season.  It only helps to make the athlete well rounded.... haha

You would say that. :D :D

Forgive me sir, but your new found concern of the focus being on volleyball during volleyball season rings a little hollow to me.

    • RWG Stem vs Liberty Magnet tips off in 5 minutes in the main gym.
    • REL actually improved this year to 6-4 which was remarkable because like you said, they had a lot of injuries and their bench was thin before that.  It’s crazy how the smallest of the 3 GCCISD High Schools finds a way to at least field a team that can hold their own but you’re right that coaching is one aspect of it.  Not that they’re a top 150 team or even close to it but if they’d lost a couple less guys there’s a real chance they could have beat Texas City and gone to at least the 1st round of playoffs this year which for GCCISD football might as well be State for how hard it is for them.   You’re spot-on about GCM and RSS coaches.  GCM coach is 2-28 over 3 years and RSS coach is 15-45 over 6.  Hard to get kids to participate in what they know from the outset is a losing proposition.  I watched the GCM/NS Game.  I was worried someone would get hurt, felt sick.  All 22 of NS starters are high level D1 Commits, QB is 19 years old, and GCM lined up a bunch of Sophomores against them, kids that aren’t even old enough to drive.     I know GCCISD wouldn’t ever do it but they really ought to stop insisting that the 3 High Schools play each other for their first 2 out of conference games.  At least let GCM out of it.  All 3 schools are in different Classifications so the wins don’t matter except for bragging rights around town and with REL winning both those games every season all it does is kill morale before the first District game is even played.  Let GCM schedule some OOC games on their level like Houston Sterling/Sam Houston/Chavez for their first 3.  That way there’s a good chance even if they lose every District game they could end up 3-7 and if they beat Channelview 4-6.  GCM having to lose to RSS and REL to start their season every year is just a killer.   You want to know why all the talent at EF Green Jr doesn’t show up at GCM?  Because that talent transfers to North Shore after 8th grade is done.  Straight-up.  They don’t care if you know either.  Those kids moms get on Facebook and brag about it.  Of course, most of those kids end up so far back on the depth chart that by Sophomore year they want to transfer back just so they can get to play at all but then you run into the eligibility thing.    Anyway, sorry for the off-topic tangent, this is a BH thread.  
    • They are very good. Really good shooting guard that's '6"3. Also have a do it all forward that's '6"5. He does everything for them. Score, rebound, defend. Maybe not as quick overall as those other teams, but I think they will at least make state semifinals.
    • Brookeland is playing Frankston in Aux gym. Game started at 1pm
