Results from CCS Meeting to Change Play-off Rules

The false narrative is that Gab coaches prefer their kids to NOT play multiple sports so they can form a powerhouse football program while a school like Carmel suffers in developing a football program because kids are forced to play multiple sports.
I agree. I don’t think any Gabilan coaches are telling their kids not to play multiple sports. And I’m a Carmel supporter.

I don’t think it’s a false narrative. I think it’s a matter of perspective and the fact that schools with larger populations tend to have fewer multi-sport athletes. In my experience larger schools have so many more kids vying for so few spots on teams that more kids tend to pick a favorite sport or two where they have a chance to make the team and play. In smaller schools whoever tries out often ends up on the roster and the better athletes can play a different sport year round. My last 2 years of High School I played football, basketball and both ran track and played baseball in the Spring season, sometimes having events and games on the same afternoon!

I agree that there aren’t coaches that mandate a kid only play their sport year- round. The best athletes can still play three sports throughout the year and often do at large schools. It’s just not as common at Salinas as it is at Carmel or King City.
False. The majority of our student-athletes that play football at Salinas play 2-3 sports and it is highly encouraged that they play 3. Played 3 myself. They have 12 opportunities to play sports in high school and they are encouraged to use them all here. Period.
