Here in Minnesota there is no spring football.

Here in La we have 15 days of spring practice with a chance to play a spring scrimmage against someone else. It is like 15 plays offense first team, 15 plays Def, 10 plays offense for 2nd team plus 10 plays defense second team, repeat the plays again and perhaps play one quarter running clock for the rest of it. There are different versions but this is the most common that I have seen.

In Florida....
We get 20 days total of practice, and one jamboree at the end of the spring. We play two halves vs other in city schools. At the start we have to be 3 days in shorts. We usually have it broken up into three weeks. Saturday of the first week we scrimage, the Saturday of the second week we have a Full Live Scrimage (red v blue, white v blue, blue v orange etc.) than that last Saturday (or Friday) we have the scrimage. And I love the spring i think it really helps getting the young kids ready for the summer and upcoming fall.

Virginia. No spring ball. They do allow camps. We have to charge them but they don't say how much. We charge a dollar for a 9 day camp. We have to allow anybody who wants to come in but they don't say that we have to publicize it.
We keep ours quiet but if a kid from another school comes we treat him the same as ours. The second year we did this we had two kids from a rival school come to camp. We changed nothing and installed all of our stuff. They came one day and never came back. I'm sure that they were sent to see if we'd do anything that would be a violation and when they found at that we wouldn't they realized that there was no reason to bust their a$$ so that was it.

Kentucky has it. My first spring will be this one, I'm not sure of the days. In Kentucky, you start the Monday after both the boys and girls basketball team are eliminated from post-season play. You are allowed 3 weeks to get in 10 practice sessions. No scrimmage or practice against other schools.

I am assuming that the states that allow it the kids are in pads.
The states that allow camps are they in pads? Are you allowed to have contact?
Thanks

Maryland is archaic. We can't have any contact with kids other than lifting or conditioning until the first day of practice!

NY doesn't have it but we can have camps during summer. Anyone know how you can get spring ball? It took the state football coaches association getting organized and being persistent with the state athletic association. Coaches have to lobby the people that will have to vote for the change. It starts with a group of like-minded people and spreads from there. Just like any change, it takes organization and persistence.

In Illinois I believe that there is no spring football allowed and then in the summer a school is allowed 25 "contact" days in which they can wear helmets, shoulder pads, and pro pads but nothing more. No action against other schools besides 7 on 7's. I could be wrong, but I think that is what Illinois has in place.

We do helmets and shoulder pads for about half our workouts, but I believe in IL you can full pad all 25 workouts if you want.

NJ - no spring ball. Can start working with kids after the last spring event (usually the baseball state championship game) in late June.

You can wear pads during summer team camps in NY. But not during the spring season.

Does anyone know the exact PA rules? From what I can gather, you are allowed to hold voluntary workouts/drill sessions with no use of equipment

In Oklahoma we get 10 days, 2 hours each for spring ball. You cannot start until after all spring activities in your class end, and must be finished before June 1. Also you can go full pads.

Would you skip spring practice if you were taking over as head coach one week before spring practice is set to start? You have not gotten a full staff yet or had the time to get the staff together and coach the coaches. Is it better to just continue with the strength and conditioning program instead of having a half-assed spring? Organization and discipline are big to me and I think a rushed spring would undermine what I'm trying to sell.
Comments and P.M.'s are welcome.

I entered that same scenario. I did not pass out equipment but did put the players through drills the first week, then introduced them to my concepts on offense. I didn't have a defensive coordinator yet, so we consentrated on offense; formations, terminology, base plays, etc...I was glad I did this because it got the players excited about my coaching style which led to more kids coming out over the summer and the following fall. I was afraid they would feel cheated out of spring football if I did nothing.
