Food for thought from a football perspective.....Year around practices need to be monitored by Admin (LOL). For years basketball had open gyms or AAU year round but the football coaches were not allowed by rules to let kids throw pass routes supervised. Baseball could do the same. SO year round has been going on as long as there was a coach willing to give his time to open up a gym or a practice field. Eliminate an open week? Teams need to have a time to heal, shorten the playoffs could work for one week but does that really matter? SC, NC, TN I beleive all have 5 week post season games. Basketball season began Nov 11 and the tean that plays for the state championship will play the week of March 9. About the same amount of weeks. Just thoughts
