Hey, what can your states allow you to do in the summer recess period? In New Jersey, we can practice everyday if our BOE allows it. It is up to each individual school. Official practice begins Aug 17 this year but we can practice in helmets and shoulder pads from the 1st day of summer to Aug 16. Just curious.

CA is divided into sections. in our section you can do anything you want over summer... literally even have double days on sundays if you wanted.

In IL, you can use 25 contact days before August 1st. These "contact days" consist of 7 on 7s or practices at the school's facilities. And, all 25 can be full pads, full go if the HC chooses. Most programs I'm aware of start the summer program a day or two after Memorial Day, but I don't know if the rules really specify a start date.

Don't "contact days" begin the day after your last day of school?

In California pads are not allowed in the summer. In the southern Section which is the largest section in California you get about 5-6 weeks of time you can work with the kids on the field. There is a 3 week "dead period" which kids can work out but no on the field coaching can happen. you can have your dead period at the beginning of summer and count your finals week as part of the dead week or you can go though your summer practice and then have your dead time. There are no restrictions on the number of practices teams can have. Teams all run 7 on 7 games vs other schools all summer long. Many teams compete in tournaments on the weekends. There are also many lineman competitions. We attempt to get some lower level 7 on 7 with some of the other local schools if we can as well.

That's what I've assumed, larrymoe, I just didn't know if the rule specified it that way.
