Do sports seasons in high school teams parallel those of professional leagues?

If this seems like a "duh! " kind of question, please keep in mind that I'm totally ignorant regarding sports culture. I didn't even know what a playoff was until I looked it up.

Generally They Do Most sports run on a certain "season" of the year. Football tends to be more of a Fall/Winter sport (in the NFL at least), so most high schools will have games starting in late August and going up until late October to early November. It's obviously to limit the amount of games that high schools play and to avoid harsh Winter conditions and angry parents.

The same holds true for generally all high school sports. Basketball is usually around the Winter time, about when the NBA starts but it finishes up a lot sooner than the league does. Baseball starts maybe a week or two after MLB begins their season and finishes up during July (even though school's out, oddly enough).

Schools lucky enough to have a Hockey program will play around Winter time, but nowhere near as long-winded as the NHL has been. (Stanley Cup Finals in June? That's pushing it if you ask me...but then again I'm not one to really complain about my Hockey :D) There are sports that don't generally have natural "seasons."

Golf, Volleyball, Swimming, Track, Cheerleading, even Tennis clubs based in high school will hold competitions and events year-round. They may be more spread out during the year so that the schools can fund them adequately and allow the majority of student athletes to be able to participate, but often times there's going to be some preppy rich school that's bent on world domination and will fund every single expendable penny into these programs. Generally, high school sports seasons will run alongside those of professional ones, only much shorter.

You can usually go to a high school's website for information on events, especially if it's a public school that's big on their sports. Hope this helped! .

Somewhat, but not really I was a cheerleader in high school, and not that up on professional sports, but here's what it seems to me to be: Football gh School: August - early November Professional: Not really sure when it begins, but it ends with the Super Bowl in February Basketball gh School: September - February/March Professional: Doesn't start until January I think Baseball gh school: February - May/June Professional: Begins with Spring Training around March/April and ends with World Series in October .

In general that's true, but there are some exceptions... gh school sports are generally confined to the academic year, so most sports are played in one of three seasons: fall, winter and spring. I went to a smaller high school in the north (Wisconsin) and we actually played a summer baseball season, but that was unusual. The typical high school sports seasons would most likely be something like: Fall (September-November) -- football, cross country, soccer, volleyball (sometimes).

Winter (November-March) -- basketball, wrestling, volleyball (sometimes), gymnastics, swimming. Spring (March-May) -- baseball, softball, tennis, track and field, lacrosse, golf. I know as soon as I post this, I'll realize that I completely forgot a big sport!.

Yes, for the most part they do... ...but, sometimes, depending upon the school and region, there may be variations owing to having separate Boys and Girls teams for most sports. Hope this helps. Sources: experience with a number of schools in the East and Midwest .

1 As predicted, I forgot one -- ice hockey. Duh. That'll be a winter sport, of course.

Along with alpine and Nordic skiing, too.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
