UIL changes August practice schedules

Football teams can no longer have twice-daily workouts on consecutive days

Mineral Wells Index

By TONY EIERDAM | sports@mineralwellsindex.com

The University Interscholastic League has added new regulations and guidelines regarding football practice in August before classes in the 2012-13 school year begin.

With the intense heat of the past few summers, the UIL has added strict time limits to practices, and has instituted a guideline regarding consecutive “two-a-day” practices.

The UIL has always limited practice time during August and the school year, but now it has put in place stricter time limits and has issued a regulation that will eliminate some practices in August.

Beginning this August, a team cannot schedule more than one practice on consecutive days, and on the days two practices are scheduled, a team cannot practice more than five hours. Also, the maximum length of any single practice is three hours.
