21-3A Predictions

[Armchair Quarterback]

It is not a new found concern...as you would say.

It does not matter what sport it is.....Volleyball, Softball, Football, etc.........we should be

practicing that sport "in the middle of district play" not other "stuff".

Tell me this,... what is more important......practicing 2 weeks before school starts for Volleyball or

practicing during the "Volleyball Season" in the middle of district play?

It is mandatory to practice before Volleyball season starts but ok to do whatever else other than practice Volleyball

During the "Volleyball Season".....makes perfect sense!!!!!

Bash me all you want.....but nothing changes the facts.....

[b]I also understand this is way off topic, so carry on with the 21-3A Predictions.[/b]

Was wanting to see how the Predictions came out ;)

Both are equally important, and neither should be interfered with, regardless of time of year OR the sport.

But rather than promise not to stay off topic, I'll get it going that direction right here.

how is it one can read a novel for english and still remember how to do algebra?? and take a geography test after playing the piano. -- its ridiculous to " concentrate " on a sport. what does that mean anyway?  play'em all and play any time you want to. if they are competative, theyll be fine. as far as school goes - if the coaches can work out a schedule to do both, then have at it.  buna coach is head var. coach in both sports and they play both at same time?? does that mean they dont care about vb? i doubt it very seriously. those kids are comp. in both sports and it doesnt seem to mess them up.

Being competitive and having a successful program are two different things.

Perfectly stated.

ted williams
bo jackson
deion sanders
few sr. golfers that played other pro sports
danny ainge ...etc  ---  you think these guys arent successful in var. sports.

heres the truth -- if you are gifted athletically , you can play at a high level in water polo if you wanted to.    heres what you guys think -- if a kid doesnt " concentrate" on a sport , then they dont really care and when we lose thatll be the reason.  ... oh - and what are you calling successful anyway? all you can say is " we made the playoffs" - look around and there are prob 20 other area teams that can say the same -- in fact prob several that went deeper into playoffs.

Wrong, we are not saying concentrate on one sport. We are saying concentrate on the sport in season. At a small school kids have to play multiple sports in order for a program to be successful And yes our girls basketball program has been successful for the last 8 years(20 or more wins a year) and will be for a while and NO 20 other teams from this area can not say they have had the same success and more. Especially not Buna. Yes, at one time Buna had some good years and lots of them. What we are saying is if a coach will not allow (most don't) their basketball players to play volleyball during basketball season then during volleyball season volleyball should be top priority. Nobody has said anything about kids not caring or losing for that matter. There is nothing true about your post.

When it starts getting close to basketball season I see nothing wrong with taking a few days to practice Basketball.  However, I do not agree with practicing basketball everyday during volleyball season.

Curious to know, if you have basketball players that play softball, when softball season approches, should those girls start practicing softball as well during basketball season?

Yes, we do. Good question, maybe bobcat05 can answer that question for you. It also involves track. Do I think it is causing a problem to practice 1-2 days a week toward the end of volleyball season? No I do not, if there are problems(have not heard of any) it goes way deeper than practicing basketball. The point I am trying to make is, I want our girls to be good in everything so lets be even across the board, treat all sports the same and respect each sport the same. I will be the first to tell you, I could careless about volleyball or softball but I still want us to succeed in both.

I don't think so, but I am not 100% sure, I think JV does maybe but I'm not sure.

[Guest bleed orange]

I am a 100% sure they don't.  ;D ;D For sure in track and for sure in softball. You should know about softball "Bobcat05" your sister played.

Duh, I know she was on Varsity. What does conditioning have to do with anything?  The kids now days have no clue what real conditioning is.

[Bobcat1]

You said track, I said they condition twice a week. They don't run as much as they need to though!
