June is dead period in our state, nothing but open weights. Starting in July we go every day 4 hours a day (weight room and practice), as well as passing league two nights a week. The second week of August starts our camp, 4 hours a day MWF three hours TTH

We "practice" from 5:30-6:45/7pm on Mondays after weights during the summer. Weights from 4-5/5:30 on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday.
Never understood why people have kids come in for 16-20 hours a week.

The usual rationale is because "Everybody else is doing it and we'll get beat if we don't!"

I know. I've just never figured out why people are that insecure. My first year as a HC I was kind of that way. Had weights for an hour and a half every day minimum, 2-3 hours of practice once a week. Played like 6-7 7on7s. Hated every minute of it, but thought I "had" to do it. This year we'll probably at most be around 4 1/2 hours of football activity a week. Play 2 7on7s. Only have one Friday of the whole summer with anything on it and no Saturdays, Sundays or Tuesdays. I just don't care anymore what anyone else does. What we do works for us and I'm good with it.

We go M, W, F for 2.5 hours a day. We play in a 7 on 7 league, 5 different Sunday nights, 1 hour game. On M, W, F we Lift / Run for about 1.5 hours and go do some football related work for about 1 hour.

1st 3 weeks of June we go M,W,F from 8am - about 9:30am. Weights, Agilities, and Conditioning.
Last week of June and 1st week of July is mandatory Dead period. We have a local gym that allows the kids to workout for free if they choose too. We don't make this manadatory or even check attendance. We just tell them its there if they want to go.
July we start with an overnight camp to refocus everyone and begin doing actual practice in helmets. July includes one 7 on 7 at our school. We also do a lineman challenge that same day so it replaces the workout for that day for everyone. The rest of July is M,T,Th,F from 5-7. Lift and condition first hour and then O/D/ST practice for the next hour. We alternate days for what we practice so the kids only have to focus on one part of the game and don't have so many transitions.
Week of August 1st we start full pad practice, but no 2-a-days because we are already in school at that point.

July: First week of July off. 4 days a week. 2 hours a day. 1 hour lifting and speed work. 1 hour of football stuff. We attend one 7on7.
August: 5 days a week. 2.5 hours a day. Go to a 3 day a week lift cycle. 1 hour lift and speed. 1.5 hours football. We attend 1 camp. No double days. We scrimmage the third week of August and treat that week as a game week so the kids can get used to that routine.

We go three night a week in July for 2 hours in shells. If we do any 7-7, which is unlikely, we do it on a night we have a work out. Pretty much like OTA's until camp starts. Of course our state association which allows us to use helmets and shoulder pads in the summer for work out has now started a three day heat acclimation period before camp starts, because I guess those three days will make a difference when you have already been working out 3 nights a week all of July...

In our state we can do pretty much anything we want as far as strength training and conditioning with exception of one "Dead" week in which there can be no athletic activities at all.
We can not wear any pads except helmets until the third day of official practice in August.
One coach can work with maximum seven players at any time except "Dead" week and the week before practice starts ("Down" time).
We can do a maximum seven days of competition (7-on-7s, Linemen Challenges, etc.)
We can have a maximum of ten days of camps (none during "Down" time).

Our state doesn't allow practice during the summer, only weights and running. We go Monday thru Thursday from 8-10:00am. 45 minutes weights, 45 minutes speed/agility. 30 Pass Hull( Our Offense vs Our Defense). Coaches are not allowed to coach 7 on 7 teams in Texas, so we quit going to tournaments. I like this much better.

Who the heck are these people making these rules?! "We want the kids to be safe so we are going to mandate a rule where kids will play a sport where they strap plastic to their bodies and run into each other at full speed but not be able to wear that plastic until two weeks before the season." "Doctor." "Doctor." "Doctor." *handshakes*

You don't need full pads in the Summer if you're not going to hit-have contact, which we aren't.
Why risk having any kids come into the start of official practice missing time because of injury?

Same here. We can't wear helmets until practice starts in August but we're not going to hit anyway do we don't care.

I don't want my kids to have full contact Oklahoma all summer long, Coach. But, here in CA I'm not allowed to have them in pads until about the second week of August and we have our first game the fourth week of August.

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday we lift, do conditioning and some skill work from 8-11 am. We will have one or two 7 on 7s a week at night. We go to team camp for 3 days (during those 3 days that's all we do). We take off the week of the 4th and the week of the coach's clinic (both mandatory dead periods in our state). We do a "minicamp" for a couple of days (two hours each day) as soon as school is out and sometimes we do another couple of days at the end of July right before practice begins on August 1. That's all we do on those days (other than lift). That is enough. They do have lives outside of football.

Our state doesn't allow helmets until the second week in July. Full pads is not allowed until week of August 1st. Last year they started a good thing imo by allowing players to go in shoulder pads and helmets the last week of July to help kids get a better transition to the heat.

I'm not sure that it's such a good thing. It's just that much longer that the kids have to be hot and uncomfortable.

We go every Monday through Thursday from 9:30 a.m. until 11:15 or so. First hour is weight lifting, then we go on the field for drillwork for about 45 minutes. We have two 7 on 7s scheduled this year, but in the past it's been more. We basically have to go in the mornings, because high school baseball is a summer sport in Iowa.

About 3 hours a day. 4 days a week. Lift an hour, run an agility an hour, practice an hour. About one 7 on 7 a week. One big 7 on 7 tournament a year.

Wow places really vary. It is a bit curious that I often see posts saying "we can't run what __________ college does because we don't have the same time with the kids as they do", yet I see many here that are doing more FOOTBALL than any college will do.

Do you wear any pads? Do any contact drills?
Do you have any limitations on how many coaches and how many players?
Is this June and July?

I would be interested to read what agility you do for an hour.

We do not go in pads at all, although I'll admit I don't know if this is our HC's preference or if it's state rules. Other than handshields, no contact in the drills. No limitations in coaches per state rules, but due to work requirements of the coaches who don't teach, 4 of us--out of 7--are normally at the workouts. And, yes, it's June and July, although we'll take a little time off around the 4th of July.

Is that Varsity only, or 9-12th graders?
What repercussions if any are there for kids who aren't there?

I just don't care anymore what anyone else does. What we do works for us and I'm good with it. Obviously you do or you wouldn't be so confused as to why everyone else practices so much... I practice the way I do because I believe it to be the best way to do it. I do not chastise others for not doing near as much as I do but deep down I do know that they are not maximizing what they have by doing less.
