That would be illegal, practice has to start after the basketball teams have been knocked out of the distrist, regional, or state tournament. It could start if the team is not one of the final two in the districtThis goes for the girls team also. :sssh:

 

What would be illegal ? I said many schools will start Monday March 3rd, maybe I should have said several. But spring practice will start for some schools Monday March 3rd because both of their teams will be out of tourney.

Spring athletes are not required to go through spring practice.

Thats not really true, when I played for Raceland in 2000 he had the same format as they do now, the first week was non-contact, then the second week was full contact, and on the last day we had a orange/white game on the last day.

 

Trust me, spring football is ALOT different now then it was in 2000. The guys have two full weeks on contact opposed to one and they really get after it every day in practice. Its not as much instruction as there has been in the past, its more about getting phsyical and seeing what players are gonna step up for the up coming season. The Rams coaching staff has improved dramatically over the past 3 years, resulting in a much more efficient spring football and summer program IMO.

Very true. Ram football practice is much different now than in years past. I remember just a few years ago that they had very little contact in practices including Spring,Summer and regular season practices. When that was changed you could see the improvement instantly.

I think spring football can really help a young program.

Good Luck to those programs that start spring football tomorrow. (3-3-08)

Grant County will start their Spring Ball today (3/03).

Boone County will start spring ball this coming monday if the girls basketball team loses tuesday, friday or saturday!

While I can't wait for Highlands spring football to begin, I sure hope we beat CovCath in hoops tomorrow night. I guess I can wait a little longer for some action on the gridiron. :thumb:

Newport will start spring football, Monday 3-10.

I am just curious Ram. What would the people from Raceland think If our football coach ran a fall baseball practice for 2 weeks During crucial practice time for the football team? Keep in mind that I know he's not allowed to do that because of KHSAA rules, but what if he could? I think 2 weeks of fall baseball practice 5 months before the season starts would also be benificial for the baseball team. What are your thoughts?

 

As long as no football players participated it would be OK. McCreary Co has spring practice but those players who play baseball do not participate in spring practice. They focus on what ever sport they playing "in season" and that is the way it should be.
