soccer_jockey 10 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Ok, I just want to clear up some things about the Grundy soccer team. Irock has no IDEA!!! what he is talking about. They have seniors on the team because the coaches did not want to leave them out in the cold. There are three of them but only one has exp. the other two are new. There aren't enough boys for a varsity and only a third of the team has enough exp. to compete on most teams level. Our team is new and we are trying to cacth up. We are sorry about the 2 games we would fill in for you if we could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â [/ QUOTE ] Â Well i think i have a good idea since i leave down here. There on the right path trying to build a soccer program but there doing it litte werid. 1. Girls and Boys should not play on the same team on the varsity level...no questions asked. 2. IMO you shoud have a field before you have a team. They have a perfect spot right beside Riverview elem/midd. school, plenty room and the kids at the younger level would maybe get more interst by playing it during break but there would have to be alot of work done to the field. Â I like the idea but i think it should be runned a little bit better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrollfan 15 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 maybe its time for a real sport. LOL just kidding football. but the parents of the soccer team pay just as many taxes as the football team.

wavechick17 10 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Thank you! finally someone agrees with us. The football players dont use the freakin' field now anyway..why cant we use it? its not turf or anything & its not like its gonna help them win any games anyway. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy10 10 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 If it WAS turf you'd have a much better chance of being able to use it. I dont ever see it happening though. Not in the near future anyway. Throw some bleachers up at Riverview and be happy that you have a place to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrollfan 15 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I am sorry James but the school budget to take care of the field is tax money. You are right if it was not for the money that the Football team brings in then we would not have a team like we do now. But the field maintenance comes from tax money. It is a shame that grass on a field is more important then students getting to play a sport. From what I hear about Grundy's athletic field is that it does not have much grass on it anyway. That is why America is like it is they have their priorities in the wrong place sometimes. Our team does not even mess up the field but we are the ones blamed for the spots of dirt on the field. I am not saying anything but it is funny how the spots are about every five to ten yards apart and the worst spot is about 18 yards from the back of the endzone.

pigskincleat 13 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 If it is like most places, they have a crown on the field so that it will drain. You can not play soccer on a field that slopes to the sidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football revenue pays the bills for the rest of the athletic programs at GHS. Coaches do the maintenance. Soccer has a practice field at Poplar Gap and if they wanted to play on the Riveriview field the coaches should do the maintenance on it. There won't be any soccer played on GHS's football field.

carrollfan 15 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 thanks for setting us straight traveler. Like I said before putting grass in front of students playing a sport. Good Job. I think they are afraid of Soccer winning more then the football team did. Is that the real reason, deep down inside you know it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
