This is something I'm curious about. I know the Texas guys here have athletic periods during the school day. We don't. I'm wondering how many guys from outside of Texas have an athletic period.

Especially the midwest.

In Ks we had at one time what was called "zero hour" in the mornings where mostly fb players lifted before school and then we would go over things. I belive this got axed and we ended up with your basic weightlifting class or basketball classes. Players would then get together for film or go over assignments while everyonel else played kick ball or something.

No, football doen't get a class, just the flexibility to schedule the players in large groups of the classes. The basketball class is technically exists around the idea of "teaching" the game, but in reality it is really more of a time to work on players skills. These classes are all inclusive though.

OMG, that is just wrong.
I take it the football guys can't go outside and workout in pads during their class?
That is not fair and would make me puke

Well the major problem is with the governing board, Kansas State Highschool Athletic Assoc. a.k.a KSHAA. In KS we are restricted quite a bit when it comes to out of season trainning and contact. You can not coach for instance an AAU team with more than 2 or 3 of your teams players on it for instance. You are not allowed at any Football related activities except for like one week, about 3-4 hours a day when school is out. The whole concept of year round trainning is a joke here. You do what you can, but compared to CA, TX, FL, GA, even CO, we are limited! To go work out in pads would be a big NO NO from KSHAA

In IL we have PE classes. We also have "Fitness PE" with weights. These are not solely for athletes, but anyone can sign up for this class. We are also allowed more time over the summer. Any camps that you go to have to count towards this time.

Do the principals allow certain classes to be more "football oriented"?

In a way they do with the process of scheduling for the weightlifting classes. Things are just "left alone". Not sticklers for what does happen, although theres not like there are major rules violations and things. Weightlifting here, is a football class, with basketball sprinkled on top just to gather some strength for the hard court players.

In Arizona, most of hte bigger schools have them, us being a 3A team, this will be our first year and I can't wait. The HC will have one period a day, I think 6th, to have Football, PE, weights or whatever they are naming it. It is for football players only, then when football is over it will beome the basketball class. Since this is new to us, what do most of you do in this "football" class?

TTT I really would like to hear how other states do stuff like this. Especially the midwest. <<< It occurs to me that, although I started the thread, I haven't said what we do in Virginia. There are no athletic periods. Everything must be done after school. We can bring them in to watch film during a study period or lunch but that's about all. There are schools that offer weightlifting classes for football players but that's up to the school and I doubt that most districts have anything close to a "football" period. We do not have spring football. We an put on a camp. We cannot do anything except conditioning in the offseason. We are allowed to attend 7 on 7s if there are at least four teams involved. |

I'm a HFB coach at a tiny (enrollment 74) school in Nebraska. We have a JH athletic period, but none specifically for HS. I do get to work with the JH team during this time, so that is very helpful. We do have 3 sections of "Athletic Weight Training and Conditioning" classes...Beginning class has some FB players, some from other sports. The two advanced classes have mostly FB players. All (25) FB players take weights year-round. I teach all the wts. classes... otherwise I am an admin. (AD/Principal). I was the HC at a 5A (large...2200 enrollment) school in Colorado.... we didn't have near the opportunity to work with athletes as we do here.

Here in Kansas.
Our school has P.E. for Junior High and Freshmen, then Soph, Jr. and Seniors have 2 classes they can take, physical education (Nutrition / Anatomy and Physiology), and Physical development (weight lifting / conditioning) Our HC teaches all 3 classes and tailors them to our football program (unofficially). The talk often drifts to football related subjects but is kept at just talk our AD would blow a gasket if he found any football related writing or paperwork in these classes out of season.
