Athletic Scheduling

[PapaBear]

Guys,

I need some information on how your scheduling works.

We are moving to a block schedule next year and I need to show some examples to my admin on how it would work for us.

We have grades 6 - 12 and I want to know if any of you do this, how do you schedule athletics.

Thanks

Just word of advice, better schedule athletics as much as you can.

I want it everyday but I need to show some options.
I don't know if it will happen.

 

[PapaBear]

Do you meet everyday or alternate days?

They are thinking the following schedule for us

Monday & Thursday
Periods - 1, 3, 5,7

Tuesday & Friday
Periods - 2, 4, 6, 8

Wednesday
All classes meet

I think I would try a modified block where you had athletics say last period for an hour. Have been at school where did that. If you let them eliminate athletic period, do not think you will like it.

We did this at a school I used to coach at, seemed to work pretty good. I forget why we did away with it.

Monday and Wednesday:
1st period (45 minutes, JH athletics/HS band)
2nd period (1.5 hrs)
3rd period (1.5 hrs)
4th period (1.5 hrs)
8th period (45 minutes, HS athletics/JH band)

Tuesday and Thursday:
1st period (same as above)
5th period (1.5 hrs)
6th period (1.5 hrs)
7th period (1.5 hrs)
8th period (same as above)

Friday:
All 8 periods meet, 45 min each.

Avoid block at all costs.
Can you imagine being stuck in a classroom
with any of us
for longer than 45/55 min?
Bad idea.

Ok

Got some more information from the admin. We will go to 4 classes per day, no modified, accelerated etc.

Mondays & Wednesday - A Days-Periods 1, 3, 5, 7. Classes are 90 Minutes
Tuesdays & Thursdays - B Days - Periods 2, 4, 6, 8 Classes are 90 minutes
Fridays - C Days - All periods meet. Classes are 45 minutes ish

Where would you put athletics? Looks like I will get them every other day.

Grades 6 - 12
JH athletics will be combined in the same period.

We don't have many coaches, 6 total for all sports jh and hs.

One gym etc.

Let me know if you have any ideas.

jay lamb at groom isd 8062487557, we have been on the block for a while

 

[oldandrich]

We tried a modified block...lasted one year. Good for science and labs, bad for math and Spanish. On the modified block, we had athletics every day. JH does not need to be on any kind of block.

I can't understand why administrators are still fooling around with block schedules. It is the worst thing that has ever been tried for 90% of the student population.

They probably think it'll improve test scores ............ that's all that
matters anymore.............
