was wondering how mant states have spring football or summer football. i coach in illinois and we are allowed 25 contact days during the summer to do football related stuff, well in the past 3 years we have used 4 of those days to go to a team camp @ southern illinois university, and what a great experience it has been for kids and coaches alike. well learned today that the state association is trying to eliminate participation in team camps. so i was wondering what states do what and when. not that football is bad in illinois but i don't think it gets as much attention that other states give football and i know we are way behind in the attention that the state gives basketball.

In Ohio, we are only allowed 7 days during the summer before the start of two-a-days. Any team camp or 7-on-7's are counted toward that total as well. I would give my left arm for spring football.

In Minnesota we have unlimited contact from the time school is out until the end of July. Many coaches would prefer that there be some limitations as to the number of days of contact. To many, it's just like the arms race - they're doing it, so we have to do it.

We have summer conditioning that we run from the start of july untill august when the pads come on. We are allowed to wear helmets and use bags during our conditioning with no limits on how many days you do it. Once the offical day starts we have two weeks of full pads with no limits on the number of practices untill the first game.

In West Virginia we are allowed three weeks in June to practice and participate in 7-on-7. All practices and competitions are non-contact. After the three weeks is over, we go back to lifting and can't start coaching football again until August.

Oklahoma has started giving 10 days of full pad spring football that starts after the last spring sport state championship and must end by the last day of school.

Arizona - Two weeks of spring ball (10 days) no pads or cones or bags or anything. Just bodies and footballs.
Then we are allowed to go to a team camp (3 days) in the summer, again just bodies and footballs.
I am not sure the rule on 7-7 but there are plenty of opportunities to participate

In Florida we have Spring ball in May. Around 20 days of practice ending with a Spring game versus another team.
Wouldn't know what to do without Spring ball. Good look at the young guns and a chance to get the team fired up before heading into summer workouts.
It also gives new Head Coaches and Coordinators a great opportunity to install some "O" & "D" before fall.

I have coached in Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma.
Florida by far has the best spring ball. You actually get to play a game against another team how can you beat that?

In Kansas in the summer, we get a one week non-contact camp (no helmets/shoulder pads) and can open up the weight room. We can't coach our kids at team camps or 7-on-7 tourneys. The only spring ball our kids participate in is the round one with red laces. For that reason I don't mind not having spring ball (most of our kids play three sports), but we're behind in a lot of other areas and we seem to lose good coaches to Missouri and Oklahoma.

The reason Florida is good in high school football...In addition to spring ball, once school gets out you can do football related skill work all you want, as long as you don't issue equipment and hit. 7-on-7, full team running plays vs. air, etc. - you can even attend camps where contact is allowed.

In Connecticut, we have 10 days of spring practice. They can be anywhere starting the Friday before Memorial day until the last day of school. The practices can be up to 2 hours long & the 1st 3 days must be with helmets only.
We also start summer practice with 5 conditioning days, starting the Monday of the 3rd week in August, with helmets only. On that Saturday, we can go with full gear & start doubles.

Alabama- We get 15 days of spring practice anytime you want second semester and you can play a spring game or jamboree. During the summer we can play a certain number of 7 on 7 dates. We also are allowed to play a preseason scrimmage game, usually a week before opening night.

New Jersey
We can practice all summer long in full gear if you want.
The rule is once the last spring sport championship is played you are allowed to practice with your kids up until the fall season "official" practice starts.
This was put it to effect so the basketball and baseball coaches can coach their kids in their respected summer leagues.
The problem with this is that now all the coaches are fighting to work with their kids during the summer. You have to work together to schedule practices.

Oklahoma: 10 days of unrestricted full pads AFTER the last State Championship for spring sports (baseball, track, soccer) has concluded. The other "catch" is that you are only allowed 1 hour per day during those 10 days and that technically includes stretch & warm up. During the summer you may attend team or individual camps but may only wear helmets/shoulder pads with no lower body pads. All organized activities that include the use of a football must end after July 15.

We are not allowed to issue equipment or have off-season football. We can do strength and conditioning. I'm looking for things I can give my kids so that they will have stuff to work on their own or in groups. For those of you that also don't have Spring or Summer football, or are not allowed to have contact, what do you give your kids to learn in the off-season. 7 on 7 passing is a good suggestion, any others?
