If we get legislated back to work, my guess is teachers will withdraw from all extracurriculars. I can’t tell you how big of a load that takes off the teachers’ shoulders.
Coaching a sport isn’t just showing up and running practice and games. It’s completing acknowledgement of risk forms, designing and ordering team gear, calculating expenses, writing parent correspondence material, arranging rides, etc.
I coached basketball for 2 years and it was an extra 90 minutes every day for practice, and then staying at work until 9pm once a week for games for 5 months. 2 tournaments means 4 weekend days completely gone. That’s on top of spending 2-4 hours a week marking and planning. These are all unpaid that teachers do because they want to provide the best experiences for students.

Eventually a couple of expansion teams will be added which will nestle the Oilers into 16th.
