Does your Soccer teams play during the same seasons?
In Illinois Girl's volleyball is played in the fall, Boy's Volleyball is played in the spring. Boy's Soccer is played in the fall, Girl's Soccer is played in the spring. The only sports I can think of that play in the same season is Basketball and Track. Of course track never has a problem, the meets are the same of course.

Boys' soccer is a fall sport in PA. Most of PA (2/3?) plays girls' soccer in the fall. In our area, they still have it in the spring. The state actually runs two separate seasons and crowns champs for both. However, I heard that either next year or 2004-05 they are moving it to the fall statewide. Then it will be just like bball--who gets the Friday night under the lights?
Oh BTW, I think the reason it took a little while to move to the fall was the popularity (and similarity) of girls' field hockey. Here in the Northeast, field hockey might be the #2 girls' sport behind basketball. And many girls play both sports, but will have to choose between them in the next year or two.

In Virginia, we play soccer in the spring (both sexes). In Maryland, soccer is played in the fall. Boys basketball is played in the winter in both states and I believe Maryland girls play winter ball. This is the last year that girls at A & AA schools in Virginia play fall ball. Should be interesting next year when everybody is scrambling for gym space.
