During closed seasons, school facilities cannot be used for anything except conditioning and weight training. OTHER REGULATIONS a. Activities that take place during the school day are local matters and are not affected by these regulations. However, any activity involving prospective athletes during the school day must be open to all students. b. Schools are permitted three weeks of open season in all sports during the school year. (No prohibition to number of students participating.) This period is not to be used as a tryout period (except Competitive Cheer). The following weeks apply: 1. Three weeks in May for Fall Sports (May 1 st -21 st ) See sports section for more details. 2. Three weeks in September for Winter Sports (September 1 st -21 st ) See sports section for more details. 3. Three weeks in November for Spring Sports (November 1 st -21 st ) See sports section for more details. c. School facilities may not be used after school hours during closed season by students of a school except if they are members of an outside team clearly sponsored by an outside agency. Coaching outside teams during a closed season is permissible provided the 75% rule is not violated. (Refer to A-33 for details on the 75% rule.) d. Outdoor facilities normally available to the public will not be restricted by these regulations on non school days. In other words, if it is the normal practice of the school to allow the general public to use these facilities on the weekends, there will be no violation if more than two students are present, provided there is no coach present, and there is no attempt to facilitate practice. e. A coach may accompany prospective team members to a camp or clinic during a closed season, but may not be involved with teaching skills to his or her own players. f. During closed season, organized practice is defined as the gathering of a coach(es) and more than two student-athletes (per sport program per day) for the purpose of teaching sport specific skills (including video, chalk-talk sessions, etc). It also includes the use of school facilities by more than two student-athletes (per sport program per day). (Page A-15 C. Note) Violation(s) of the practice rules orchestrated/initiated by school personnel will subject the school to sanction(s) by the League. Violation(s) of the practice rules orchestrated/initiated by the student athletes will subject the school to a “warning” for first offense and more severe sanctions for repeated offense(s) within one calendar year.
