I'm curious as to how other programs utilize their summer practice days. Obviously, different states have different sets of rules for how their summer days can look in the summertime. In Michigan, football programs are allowed "15 dates of non-mandatory activity with an unlimited number of players" that involve helmets, cleats, and footballs. These are not workouts and look for more like practices. Some of those dates are taken up with 7-on-7's (max of 7 in Michigan) but the rest can be used as the programs see fit.
Primarily, I've been apart of programs who organize these days in 1 of 2 ways. They either chunk these days into team camps that are about 3-4 consecutive days or they spread those days out for weekly camps throughout the summer. I think both methods have merit to them but I am a bigger fan of the 3-4 day team camps (usually done in July so they are closer to the start of practice in August).
What have you done before? What did you like or dislike, and why? Or, how does your state do it differently?

We do a 4 day camp the week before our conditioning week, which is close to practice as you mentioned. I like it because you can get into your teaching progression, almost all of our kids are present unless traveling or something, and then practice hits and a lot of it is just review. |

Most schools around here (ours included) go 5 days a week during the summer, 3 1/2- 4 hours a day. Here is in general what ours look like. Please note, order of events is not the same for everyone.
45 Min- meet, install, review
75 Min- Athletic Development (usually weights, some speed & agility)
20 Min- Indi time
20 Min- Small groups
20 Min- Special Teams
20 Min- Team
10 Min- Accountability
The rest of time is transition from field, to mtg rooms, to weight rooms etc.

Southern California is a free for all, but our program doesn't go overboard. There is a mandatory 2 week "dead period" that you can place at anytime of your choosing in the summer prior to the start of camp.
Monday and Wednesday:
Weights and Conditioning: Kids have the option to do this at either 6:45 am before summer school or 2:30 pm after summer school
Practice: 3:30 pm-5 pm
Tuesdays and Thursdays
Weights: 3:00 pm- 4 pm
7 on 7 4 ways and linemen challenges: 5 pm. We usually travel to a school relatively close to us for these.
Fridays: Off
We go to 2 Saturday 7 on 7 tournaments and 2 linemen competitions during the summer.
