We did have one girl on basketball team DD's freshman year, but she dropped basketball sophomore year and committed to a D1 school. I don't recall any scheduling conflicts but I don't recall much. LOL.
Oldest dd is still playing jv bball, this is the last week of regular season, conference championship should be next week, then softball practice starts 2/22. There is usually a week or so break between volleyball, basketball, and softball seasons here.
Our tryouts were in October. In Alabama you could start throwing on 1/5 and pick up bats for the first time a couple of weeks after that. Our first game is nest Tuesday the 16th.
I imagine there are going to be several miserably cold games starting out.
Our tryouts are state mandated (all teams in the state have the same tryout dates). The first day of practice this year is February 26th (which is tryouts) and they have to have 10 days of practice before their first game. If a player misses one of the 10 days of practice they are ineligible for the first game or any game until they have completed 10 days of practice.
We have 5 basketball players that also play softball. The basketball players will have missed all of the preseason scrimmages except for this coming Saturday. As I speak to other kiddos that play both sports in the same school district their coaches allow those bball girls to practice (after bball is done for the day) and play in the scrimmages. It's up to the bball coaches. It's funny how all of the College softball folks talk about loving the multisport athlete, but the coaches make it nearly impossible for these kids to play multiple sports... in fact they are punished. My DD is going to be one and done with HS bball even though she loves it and and is pretty good.
