It would not affect us at all.
Unfortunately our state has passed much more restrictive practice regulations.
Well-intentioned but over-reaction to concussion issue.

We are under 90 minutes of full contact for the entire season.

I doubt that the rule will change anything for most programs. It certainly won't for us. Last year our state instituted a rule that limited us to two padded practices a week after games start. We didn't even notice. It's what we'd always done anyway.
I don't think that rules like this are a waste of time, though. Like it or not we're in a PR battle. If these rules help the general public (read that "parents") feel that we're looking out for the kids' health, that's a good thing.

This rule wouldn't affect us if it were in place.
I'm a bit worried that this may be a slippery slope.
I dont see a world where a state association can back track on rules they deemed for player safety. Every 5 years or so, it could be another rule, then another that starts legislating the hitting out of football.

I really doubt too many teams are "tackling to the ground" come the season.. Let alone minutes a week (That would probably be about 30 minutes of live tackling Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday). Just do not see that...
I think they may go back and reword it some and it could have an impact.. yes..
Last year we went to the state semifinals and played 14 games.. After August on average we were in full pads MAYBE once a week.. By the second half of the season we were strictly in uppers for the rest of the year.
