Which was my plan several years ago, but when I couldn't get a straight answer from area coaches and ADs on what was allowed, I called down state and was told the only thing Softball teams can do prior to Feb.15 is conditioning and weightlifting. If you are using the "tools of the sport" it considered a practice. Mandatory or not, it is still an organized practice. This particular By Law is Softball specific, I'm not sure the limitations for other sports. I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble, and I would love to be wrong about this. You just might want to get clarification because I would hate to see girls become ineligible. After all this is posted in a public forum and you abbreviated your school.
