[quote=Anonymous]I agree it sucks.  Our MS announced the dates in spring so we knew but it still meant we couldn’t take a vacation with the whole family.  My oldest had a summer job/internship and cannot take off until 8/9.  Plus a lot of places it’s easier to take vacation in august because it’s typically a slow month, and it’s also easier if you have young kids that need summer childcare because many of the camps end early August as the college kids head back to school.  I don’t even know that  my kid will make the team but I didn’t want to break his heart telling him he can’t even try out so that we could take a family vacation.  So we ended up going without my older teen even though we only have a few years left before she’s out of the nest.  I’m really aggravated about it and it seems very unnecessary. 
We should get the ocean city beach lobby on this —they could probably get the state to change the date.  We actually would have rented a place at the beach for at least a week in august if not for those sports tryouts.[/quote]
