The big Texas high school sports authorities have been kicking the idea around for swapping Spring/Fall sports. I saw one of their schedule breakdowns. Any talk of this idea taking hold in Missouri?

interesting idea, one problem might be if the same person coaches both boys and girls tennis or boys and girls golf... tennis doubleheaders?

That would not be a problem because they are swapping the sports. So Boys golf would be in the fall and girls in the Spring. The same coach could coach both still.

in my defense, I posted that at work. I work in radio, so I just leave my brain at home o_O
 
Do you keep the seasons permanently switched? If not when you want to reset you’ll have Spring Football and turn around with Fall Football
 
I mentioned this, on here, not long ago. The thoughts, I had heard, then, were to play the sports with less contact in the fall. But, it would all switch back to "normal" next year.
Not sure this has gained a lot of legs in Missouri, but who knows?
 
I could see the switch of sports seasons happening but I would think it would have to happen fairly soon if for no other reason than hiring baseball/softball officials for the fall. As a spring sport coach, it would not bother me at all not dealing with the snow and spring rains. And baseball, softball, track & field and golf certainly have less contact than football. The sports most effected by covid would be football, wrestling and basketball...
 
I'm sure most ADs would be fine with doing it, but it up to state to make decision and that time is basically up because we are a little over a month away from school starting.
 
The argument we were given was that if we switched and then fall sports have to be cancelled due to not being in class, Spring sports get hosed twice in one calendar year.
