1) Days 1-5 are the first formal practices. No more than 1 practice occurs per day.   X
2) Total practice time should not exceed 3 hours in any 1 day.   X
3) 1-hour maximum walk-through is permitted on days 1-5, however there must be a 3 hour minimum between practice and walk-through (or vice versa).   X
4) During days 1-2 of first formal practices, a helmet should be the only protective equipment permitted (if applicable).  During days 3-5, only helmets and shoulder pads should be worn.  Beginning on day 6, all protective equipment may be worn and full contact may begin.
      A. Football only: on days 3-5, contact with blocking                
          sleds and tackling dummies may be initiated.
     B. Full-contact sports: 100% life contact drills 
         should begin no earlier than day 6. 		   X
5) Day 6-14, double-practice days must be followed by a single-practice day.  On single-practice days, 1 walk-through is permitted, separated from the practice by at least 3 hours of continuous rest.  When a double-practice day is followed by a rest day, another double practice day is permitted after the rest day.   X
6) On a double-practice day, neither practice day should exceed 3 hours in duration, and no more than 5 total hours of practice in the day.  Warm-up, stretching, cool-down, walk-through, conditioning and weight-room activities are included as part of the practice time.  The 2 practices should be separated by at least 3 continuous hours in a cool environment.   X
7) Because the risk of exertional heat illnesses during the preseason heat-acclimatization period is high, we strongly recommend that an athletic trainer be on site before, during and after all practices.   X
