Not sure what kind of rules you are referring to. Most schools workout 3-4 days per week during the summer. Mandatory week off so most schools do theirs the week of the HS coaches clinic in July. Schools also have 7 on 7 leagues that compete once or twice per week.
There is a mandatory off week.
There is mandatory 14 day heat acclimatization period that has about 7 steps you have to follow with total hours practiced/time off etc, but that isn?t anything new.
Starting tomorrow, my son's team will be playing 7 on 7 each Monday throughout June.Quote:

Ive never heard of a team working out 5 days a week during the summer. Dead week is the first week of July. Camp starts later this year than it has in a long time
Many 7 on 7s are considered as club sport competitions and not school sanctioned. Many competitions thru out America compete on Sundays as well as Saturdays. Some areas will 7 on 7 up to 20 times a summer. Lincoln High School, in San Diego, competed in DFW and Miami a couple years ago as non-sanctioned 7 on 7 participants.
I do not know the line of demarcation, in Mississippi, identifying non sanctioned 7 on 7 competitions and school sanctioned competitions. Maybe Coach34 can add to my statement and further educate me and fellow elitedoggers on point.
HS teams will do 7 on 7 with other groups of schools as well as go to college team camps so that schools can get a look at their kids. But some of these top guys will also 7 on 7 with travel ball much like AAU teams in basketball. I have no idea about regulation of the travel teams. As Bucky said, I've never heard of a school going 5 days per week in the summer. Damn. Even coaches want a little bit of time off.Quote:

Just for some fellow elitedoggers I figured I would give an example of non sanctioned club 7 on 7. BTW, high school head coaches are barred from observing or attending such events in California.
