informing their students on the status (sanction /
unsanctioned) of athletic competitions advertised /
promoted within their building.
Pre-Season
Practice Recommendation
The
first six (6) days of practice should be used for
physical conditioning according to the following
provisions. During the first three (3) days, headgear,
T-shirts, shorts, and football shoes constitute an
acceptable dress and no other football attire should be
worn. On days four, five, and six, complete football
uniforms may be worn, but ABSOLUTELY no body to body
contact should be permitted. Practice during this
six-day period should be limited to two hours a day,
excluding flex time (stretching) and breaks. This
conditioning week should include callisthenics, kicking,
throwing, running, and similar exercises. Arm shields,
tackling or blocking dummies, charging sleds or similar
devices could be used during these six days. If a
student is late coming out for the team, he should still
undergo six days of physical conditioning as outlined
prior to beginning regular practice and workouts.
Contact
Practice
Teams
should begin �contact� drills the day following the
six days used for physical conditioning. Only one-a-day
contact sessions should be conducted. A player should
participate in at least eleven (11) separate days of
practice, five of which should be in pads, before
participating in a football contest or scrimmage with
outside competition.
