I think this has merit. Here in Texas we have only spring ball for the largest group of high schools-5A. All other have no spring training. The reason is many think in smaller schools spring sports would hurt by not having enough participate. Also, they use the excuse it takes away from study time. We all know if you require good grades to play you will probably get good grades.
I would submit, the worse thing that could happen is you get turned down. Please keep us posted as to outcome.
Good luck.
