Arizona just approved year round practices starting July 1. Does your state allow year round practice and if so how do the smaller schools in your state handle it?

we are not a small school but we encourage 2 sport athletes..we are allowed 20 practices each season (winter spring) we never even use them all...we will practice in the morning or on saturdays the practices, at least in the beginning, are not very intense..we focus on learning and then technique..in the spring, we wait until after the playoffs (so late may) and have a dedicated week of practice meaning that we expect everyone to be there. now we pick up the pace and focus much more on execution

We are still talking about coaching a HIGH SCHOOL sport, correct ?
Pair this with the 'How many hours are you putting in per week' thread and you have:
#Grinding8760HoursPerYear / #Grinding8784HoursPerLeapYear

California did the same thing about 7 years ago or so. I believe it was done to discourage kids from focusing on their club sports primarily soccer, softball, volleyball, etc. However, it has not done anything to keep those people from being the pimps they are. And now football has all these 7 on 7 teams & training gurus so it's only gotten worse. Also, coaches are dropping like flies in Southern California because of this #grind #nodayzoff Take a look at Coach Fore's website for proof. |

The reason why it is being done is because it is impossible to track..the bottom line is too many coaches are immoral ank their kids to follow team rules but coaches won't follow state rules..Look in the mirror boys

How is practice defined here? If I say practice I am talking about something mandatory. Or is it practice in the terms of you can be around your players all year and work them out, some states have a set amount of days you can have contact with your players in the off season.
We have always had the ability to do this in PA, no limits on off season contact with players and you can wear shells if you write a letter or something with your AD and Admin. So some guys do spring ball with no contact some start workouts in June some July some don't till Aug. none of it can be mandatory till the official start date. So I think the word practice can get thrown around and mean different things to different people.

at least for us..just like lifting..none of it is mandatory, but unless you have a real good excuse if you don't go to practice or lifting you will be too far behind to catch up

We are broken up into different Sections, so some might handle it differently, but in the Sac-Joaquin Section, you can not work with your athletes in football activities from the end of the season until May 1 unless you are a Club or AAU team. |

I would love to be able to just work football-specifically in the offseason. Here are our regulations:
-No out-of-season work done unless it is strength/conditioning until last spring sport championship is played (no footballs/pads etc)
-At the start of the summer, 1 coach can work with up to 2 kids for 1 hr at a time, 3 times a day on specific football drills/technique
-No high school coach can work with players from their feeder middle schools until that student has been promoted to 9th grade
The caveat to all of this is that there are these rules but no active regulation.

Southern Section is year round for all sports. 18 hour/week regulation with a mandatory 21 day dead period that you can take at anytime. |

We are year-round in FL. We have 20 full practices plus a game in May, but we start workouts in February. We encourage 2-sport athletes, we get all of the teaching a technique stuff done around other sports practices. It also gives the backups a chance to get some quality teaching while the big boys are at basketball/track/wrestling.
We go 3 hours/day, 4 days/week, but that includes study hall 3 times/week (so its really 11 total hours/week.) It gets old, but it keeps out inner-city kids busy during the offseason.
