Explain how high schools in Maryland and many other states manage to do it.

Of course it could be done. But why? What problem does it solve and for whom?

Allows you to play many more closer teams in MD/DE/PA (instead of NC) at the high school ages since those seasons are aligned.

I'd rather play teams from MD, DE, and PA than drive to NC.

I’m sure VHSL cares about what you think. Thanks for your input!

I see, so it's better for club soccer parents. Why on earth would high schools change seasons, introducing all kinds of logistics issues, just to make a few club soccer parents happier? What possible benefit is there to the high schools for making this change? You really think the world revolves around you.

Nope, I just answered the question. I don't even live in VA anymore, but do find it odd they're different than all of the surrounding area including some privates.

You tell me, since you think its such a great idea. You've got 1 or 2 fields to work with. Show your work.

Ew.

What a dumb response - there are far better teams less than an hour away vs a 4-6 hour + drive.

You're dumb. If you are talking about Baltimore Armor and Celtic they are pretty awful. Maybe you mean better than a senior citizen walking football team?

And, most (not all) of the NC parents don't smell like cigarettes, aren't half drunk for an 11 a.m. game and f-bombing in every sentence as part of their daily use of the England language.

Ever heard of SJEB/Real? - Even stronger on the ECNL side with the North Atlantic being one of the best in the country.

No one cares what would be more convenient for a few club soccer weirdoes. If you don't like the season for HS soccer, don't have your kid participate. Easy.

Yes. Please see my comments regarding half drunk parents who incorporate curse words into every sentence.

This.

It has to do with field space- football and field hockey in the fall, soccer and lacrosse in the spring
