High School Sports

Volleyball season has started for Chachi. Tonight we attended their first scrimmage of the year. Since Chachi is still recovering from her broken leg, her coach is slowly working her into the lineup. She played for a few minutes and looked pretty rusty, but not bad since she just started running recently.

High school sports have changed a lot in the last 25 years. The programs are very political now with most coaches also coaching club teams. The coaches love to select their club players for the high school teams and give them the most playing time whether they deserve it or not. Back in the old days, it was easier to get some playing time based on your ability. Not to say that things were not political then. It was just easier to rely on your ability without having to jump through the political hoops. I feel sorry for kids today.
