There was a proposition/resolution (I don’t know what the correct term is for IHSA) last year to make softball a fall sport in Illinois. The reasoning was to allow TB players to be with their travel teams in the spring. It didn’t make it out of comittee, so wasn’t actually voted on.
I can’t see Illinois ever changing to the fall. I had heard they were considering it so they weren’t competing with soccer (soccer’s numbers are increasing while softball’s are decreasing). Moving to the fall puts them in direct competition with volleyball though.
IF they did ... would they move the middle school season to the spring then? You are still fighting that same battle in that case. I never heard that addressed. (Typing this as I am getting ready to call the first MS game of the season!)
