2025 Minnesota High School Football Thread

[disco]

It's truly a dumb factor in 2025. It's like telling Hockey they can't have tryouts for youth during the football season. Teams of all fall sports are already into full practice and season well before the state fair starts.

Summer tourism and resorts is more of a MN factor but not to the extent some think.

I believe I was the one who said that, and it was actually a combination of the three. Starting practice that early would likely be an unpopular decision and I'd worry in some cases that it would lead to kids choosing not to play at all.

And the issue with hockey tryouts during youth football isn't that they have them. It's that they tell kids they have to miss fall sport GAMES for hockey TRYOUTS or they get bumped to the bottom without any exceptions.
