[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard a rumor that there might be a boys' JV volleyball squad next year and they might move boys' volleyball to the spring to create room for a JV schedule.

I am not sure how I feel about this.

The one thing I like about the fall season is that it has minimal interference with academics.  
The Spring season playoffs will interfere with finals won't it?[/quote]

For boys club volleyball players, a spring HS season is better. Much of the rest of the country plays a spring HS season (and it's a spring sport at college), so there are lots of tournaments in the fall and winter. Those clubs in VA often miss several big tournaments bc of the conflict with HS. In FCPS, boys volleyball has practice or a game every weekday evening, which makes it almost impossible for those kids to practice with their club teams. Then in the spring, there are very few tournaments until May, but the VA kids now practice all the time with the club and want to play in tournaments!

Compare this to girls volleyball - it's a fall sport everywhere and the club program is designed around that. Tryouts are at the very end of the HS season, and the tournaments don't get underway in earnest until December. [/quote]
