jbwill2 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Question: what's going on in KY right now regarding football practice? Are teams allowed to practice with pads/full-contact right now, or what? If so, when did this begin, and are there any "dead periods" from now until the start of football season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Now you are allowed to: participate in 7 on 7 competitions, have organized weight lifting and conditioning, players are allowed to attend camps. Practice in pads is not allowed. Dead Period: June 25 - July 9. After Dead Period: organized practice may begin, you must have five practice days without pads to become acclimated to the heat. July 15 orginized practice may begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
