[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its very strange to not have any green days for a sport all year.[/quote]

How do you know for sure they haven’t? Green Days seemed to be a word of mouth thing in our kids experiences. [/quote]

VHSL rules require green days to be open participation to any student at the school and they have to be listed or published by the school so students know about them.[/quote]

Green Days are HEAVILY promoted on Instagram for almost every single FCPS sports team.[/quote]

Why do we accept this? Instagram should not be considered official communication by the school nor should I or my student have to get on Instagram for official information.  This goes for things besides sports by the way.[/quote]

100% An Instagram story should not be official communication. School sports programs need to do better, put it on the website and or send an e-mail. [/quote]

Spring sports tryouts have been posted on schools websites since the start of the year and every team I know has interest meetings after school months before the season. Instagram is by far the best way to get updates directly from coaches. If each message had to go through the school, the message would be so delayed or not sent out at all. I’m sorry but any kid that does not know about tryouts is probably not good enough to make a schools soccer team. Play lacrosse or run track but high school sports are intense seasons and have practice every day. If you are not ready for that as a parent your kid shouldn’t play [/quote]
