Your points are somewhat of a reflection of my argument since they approved the use of metal spikes in HS.

You are correct, college has used them for a while. The difference is that the players in college are proven athletes. Many, most in some areas, in high school are not.

In Louisville at the ASA convention, Mary S. even stated that there was no research or statistical information to support the change.
Mike,

Nice meeting you also. Perhaps coaches will give feedback to their players regarding the pros and cons of metal spikes. I'm curious to see how many of the players make the switch.

I enjoyed the clinic and would welcome the opporturnity to work games with you in the future.
