A bit of an odd scenario. Going on my 4th season as an HC for school that has been traditionally unsuccessful. 1st season 3-6, 2nd playoff birth, 3rd district title. We have a unique situation where our game field is located a 1/2 mile from the High School. In the past soccer has had 100% rights to the turf field (because soccer isn't played on grass apparently) and we have been stuck to a grass(less) area. Soccer has added a JV-B team (Freshman w/9-11) and will play games on off days for soccer. I know title 9, not only covers girl sports, but encompasses all with equal access to facilities. Any suggestions........? Looking at how teams are able to work things out with other programs. To me, the idea of "this is how its been" is not acceptable. Oh, and I am the only teacher coach in the district.

Communists! I had a very similar situation last week. I scheduled the field for a certain time and soccer was on there practicing because that's the way it's always been. We just started getting in our stretch lines right in the middle of their practice. They eventually moved their chit. Guy cried to the A.D. Wasn't very PC, but the goal was accomplished. I might have said some choice words about how soccer doesn't bring in money and stuff like that. Not saying I did the right thing or that you should do that, but it's what happened.

We split the field with our soccer team. Now their coach starts his practice an hour later so we can have the whole field and when we are done they can then have the whole field.

We have turf field. We only have it two days a week. We always get it for Thursday pre-game and Friday when we play at home. We share the field with boys and girls soccer, girls field hockey, and the band. We don't have a problem with this .

As I see it now, this is how it is structured Monday JV-B games home/away Tuesday JV & Varsity games home/away Wednesday JV-B games home/away Thursday JV & Varsity games home/away or Freshman and JV football home/away
It seems the best that could happen is every other Monday and Wednesday

We have 2 soccer teams,(varsity & JV),three FB teams,(Frosh,JV,Varsity)sharing two fields, both turf. Varsity and JV FB get the "real" field, The Soccer girls get the second field and the frosh float. Sometimes we find them in the Baseball out field. When Soccer has away contests, or Mondays when the JV is playing, the Frosh get to see the turf. Sorry fellas, adapt and overcome.
