Spring is a time for statistics.

Baseball is so dependent on numbers and tendencies and probabilities that it’s almost as if someone invented the statistical categories for the game before they invented the game itself. Softball, the same way.

Track and field? It’s all about beating the clock, or stretching the tape just a few inches further with each long jump or shot put throw.

Soccer? There have to be stats for soccer. We want your results online, too, Jacksonville.

If you like stats, spring sports were invented for you. Varsity was invented for you, too. We started the spring season with the Illinois College invitational track meet last Friday, and we’ve already started entering results online. We can’t wait for the first baseball or softball game (isn’t it still a bit cold?) so we can take a look at how Varsity handles those stats.

If you’re a coach, and you’d like to make sure your athletes are recognized on Varsity this spring, please give us a call. We have a user name and a password already set up for you, and we really could use your help. We know coaches are busy people, especially in season, so if you know of a parent who would like to help by entering stats, please let us know.
