Preseason Practice Regulations
Activities Outside the School Year

Pre season practice regulations for sports that begin practice prior to the school year are
as follows.

Student-athletes shall not engage in more than three hours of practice activities on those
days during which one practice is conducted.

Student-athletes shall not engage in more than five hours of practice activities on those
days during which more than one practice is conducted.

The maximum length of any single practice session is three hours.

On days when more than one practice is conducted, there shall be, at a minimum, one
hour of rest/recovery time between the end of one practice and the beginning of the next
practice.

When determining how to count times spent as ‘practice activities’ please consult the
following chart:

What Counts
Actual on field/court practice
Sport specific skill instruction
Mandatory conditioning

What doesn't count

Meetings
Weight training
Film study
Water breaks
Rest breaks
Injury treatment
Voluntary conditioning

In reference to the minimum one hour rest/recovery time between the end of one practice
and the beginning of the next practice (on days when more than one practice is
scheduled), there can be no practice activities at all during this time. This time is
exclusively for students to rest/recover for the following practice session, whether that
session is an actual on field/court practice or a mandatory conditioning period.
