Once a new player has taken a physical when can they practice?

Immediately after they've had a physical, they can participate.

But they have to have five days in practice without pads. Then when they put on pads (on the 6th day), they then have to practice five days in pads before going against another school in a game or scrimmage of any type.

Thanks! I knew i'd get a good and quick answer on BGP!

A lot of people don't understand the practice requirements. You have to have the five days without pads to get acclimated to the heat, and five days of pads before you can compete. That is where a lot of people get lost.

I know our coaches will know once he starts but the kid asked me what he could expect and instead of guessing I told him i'd just ask the experts.....

 

The reasoning makes since especially in light of the past fatalities due to heat stroke.

Uhhhhhh, after he turns his head and Coughs.
