Coaches,
I have a student who is in a Speech class and is doing a speech about why we should get the activity period in Nebraska. Do any of you have an activity period at your school, how is it used, are there any regulations regarding the activity period, etc.
Thanks.

We have an athletics class, just like fine arts gets their class period, or PE gets a class period. It is set up as a regular class period on a 7 period day, 50 minutes long. It is used for in season training ( weights, conditiong, short practice period ) and off-season.
It is necessary for us because during our season we are allowed only 8 hours of non school hours practice. Out of season there is no practice after school, all volunteer weight room.
In the Spring, 4A and 5A can elect to have Spring Practice.

We have it in Alabama. I can't imagine not having it. We had when I was in school 8 years ago (7 periods) and we have it where I coach now (4 blocks).
On the block system if you have a kid that plays more than one sport you have to make sure he stays on his grades because it only takes one D or F and he won't be eligible. If they don't play two sports, meaning they have 4 core or regular classes in the 2nd semester then they have a lot more room to make mistakes.
A lot of our kids could graduate early if they really wanted to. I think you are seeing more and more of this with recruits these days.
