Can anyone clarify for me what the "summer rules" are? Can a coach have players run drills and scrimmages with a soccer ball? 4.4.1 says "there are no restrictions." You can practice , scrimmage , and play in leagues ect. Summer rule usually expire 1st week of August . |

Summer rules is defined as follows from handbook (sorry about formatting. Go to following link and down to 4.4 for handbook view) cdn.lhsaa.org/uploads/handbook/Section_4_Seasons.pdf SUMMER ACTIVITIES 4.4.1 4.4.2 4.4.3 4.5 4.5.1 4.5.2 4.5.3 4.5.4 4.6 4.6.1 4.6.2 4.6.3 Summer activities shall extend from the 46th through the 5th week of the NFHS calendar year regardless of whether school is in session or not. Other than restrictions prohibiting football players from working out in pads during the defined summer time span there are no restrictions on workouts in LHSAA sports during the summer months. Summer activities in all LHSAA sports at the school’s facilities, use of school equipment and sport specific apparatus are subject to the approval of the school principal. During the defined summer period, any number of students from the same school, may play on an independent team without affecting his/her eligibility regardless of who coaches the independent team in a game(s) (faculty or non-faculty member). This allows high school coaches to coach his/her team in team summer camps and summer leagues. LHSAA players participating in passing leagues during the summer months when school is not in session in the sport of football: 1. May be coached by their high school coach(es). 2. May wear helmets. 3. Shall not wear shoulder pads, hip pads and/or thigh pads. 4. May play under the sponsorship of a non-LHSAA organization. 5. May play on the high school grounds with the written permission of their principal. some notes... When summer starts at week 46, you can practice even though school is in session! Only football has rules against this as they have some summer restrictions and have their own rules with spring football seasons. All, other sports... Can do as they please... Like I said, this is usually mid May so if a soccer coach wants to do a 2 week spring camp before season ends, go for it! Summer time rules are in effect. Also... Why aren't more of us doing 11v11 scrimmages? I heard all the Iberia parish teams started doing this the last couple,of weeks as well as some St Landry Parish girls teams... Why do 8v8 when we can do full 11v11 or even all combine and do full 11v11 team camps with some college coaches coming in? There are many ideas we can do here and even use LSA or sponsor such a camp for a week or two with college coaches coming in but have it high school team based? Good stuff to ponder about.... the next question may be what is NFHS calander? usually Week 46 is around May 15 or when that week starts and week 6 is the 2nd full week in August. The first full week in July is week 1. Here is a link to NFHS calander.. cdn.lhsaa.org/uploads/forms/pdf/NFHS_Calendar_brochure.pdfsooccer calendar dates... week 17 is always first week of practice with a ball week 20 is always first week of regular season Week 31 is always last couple days of season and start of playoffs at mid week. week 34 end of week is always championships and all star game. |
