Case BL-23-19- When does contact football practice begin?

The first date of contact practice is based on the first full day of classes for the student body in each school. Contact practice begins seven days prior to the first official day (which is the first day prior to students). The following is the calendar for the next two years. The shoulder pad column is the date with shoulder pads can be added to helmet IF the weekend days are not used for any type of practice. Be mindful that if non-contact simulations are held (i.e. 7/24 in 2013), then no practice can be held. As an example, in 2013, if the first full pad practice is July 29, but the school chooses to practice on 7/27 (any type of practice), then the shoulder pads couldn’t be worn until 7/25.
