[quote=Anonymous]I few facts that may help here. MCPS sets their calendar. MPSSAA sets the athletics calendar. Sports used to start every year on August 15th. Same date every year. Then MPSSAA changed it to start on a Saturday every year. This was done solely to accommodate football scheduling, but impacted all the other sports. With the MD General Assembly passing a law a few years back that required new heat rules, fall sports lost most of their double sessions (two practices in one day). One year after the heat rules changed practice schedules, MPSSAA passed another rule allowing coaches/schools to start three days earlier (without paying coaches) so now sports start on a Wednesday every year. Next year that will be August 9th, in 2018 it will be August 8th and in 2019 it will back up a week to August 15th. [/quote]
