Practices
Subject to any exceptions contained in sport-specific rules, each team is permitted a maximum of 3 practices/scrimmages per week. These sessions are to be a maximum of 2 hours in duration, inclusive of warmups, stretching, water breaks and cool down periods.
Coaches are to monitor players for heat-related ailments or symptoms and provide appropriate and frequent water breaks. For outdoor sports, and indoor sports where no form of climate control is available, only stretches, walk-throughs and blackboard sessions are permitted if:
Parishes/schools are strongly encouraged to have at least one individual present who is certified in CPR and first aid.
Related Policies:
Team practices are not permitted until the first day of each sports season as determined by CYM and as stated below: Fall Sports: 3rd Monday prior to Labor Day; Winter Sports: November 1st; Spring Sports: March 1st 2186
Athletes participating in two sports in the same season are restricted to two hours of practice time per weekday. Exceptions are on the weekends where rest can be sufficiently achieved. 19302
Any athlete who is on a roster in any sport may not attend any practices for another sport in a new season until he/she ceases to be a member of the prior season's team or that team's season schedule has been completed. This includes playoffs, but not post season tournaments. (Example - A player participating in soccer after November 1st may not attend a basketball practice until his/her soccer season has been completed.) The athlete can attend a tryout for the new sport provided that the current sport is not practicing on that weekday or that there is sufficient time for rest on a weekend. 2190
No athlete is to be denied permission to tryout for an upcoming season's team because he/she is still actively participating in a current sport. 19303
