ladydragondad; private schools follow the rules set forth by lhsaa on pracitce time and playing time in all sports. So to clarify there is no year around practice. If so they are in violation of lhsaa rules. Now the public school child has the same opportunity to play club soccer in the off season just like the private school child. Which is allowing some public schools to compete better year after year.

godswill24, I appologize. I was told private/public schools have different rules concering when the team could practice with coach and ball. If private schools follow rules set by LHSAA, why would a game be played if a school was closed? Texas was so much easier to follow, lol.

The advantage in practice time actually comes to those schools who have coaches on staff at a school. Then PE class can be used as soccer practice time.

Not exactly sure about the school being closed and playing the game? The public schools i know for the boys in north louisiana have football/baseball class but not to sure what the girls are offered.

There actually seems to be quite a bit of parity between public and private schools in D1. Look at the four quarterfinal games. Each one is between a Catholic school and a public school. Mount Carmel vs West Monroe, St. Thomas More vs Lafayette High, Domincan vs Mandeville, St. Scholastica vs Fountainebleau.

DIII, D3 has Menard and Red River. Red River has no girls team, and their guys team had 2-3 girls on it. Why not pair Menard with the teams from Opelousas/Lafayette like ASHGC, OC, ESA? Makes no sense to have 2 two-team districts, and have multiple 5-6 team districts.
