2 a day practices

[Cardinal Supporter]

When do players report to practice and when do 2 a day practices begin? It is always hot so I hope everyone can stay hydraded and stay healthy and injury free.

I heard August 6th. Do you have kids playing HS this season?

[Guest etbu]

August 13 if you had spring football.

[highsky]

Both 3Afan and etbu are correct.

No my kids are all grown up. I am just a big football fan. I try to see all the BC games I can but I will on occasions go to see another team play even if it is just a scrimmage. I did see South Lake Carrol play Lufkin two years ago at SFA Lumberjack stadium. It was an awsome game. I did see Newton win the state championship two years ago also. That was a close game and fun to watch

Monday Aug. 6th if you didn't have Spring.

How many schools still do 2 a days?  I know several who only do 1 due to the heat.

[KFDM COOP]

Most i know still do 2 a days.

[Tiger90]

This seems to be the first real year in years that true 2 a days could be held since school starts so late.  We'll be into scrimmages before kids hear the first bells.

I have noticed some schools who don't pad up alot during any practice. 

[KFDM COOP]

Yea no pads are allowed until the Friday of the first week. Mon-Thur shirts and shorts.

I think the first week, at least the first few days, are mainly for conditioning drills. I'm sure plays and other stuff takes place but a lot of sprints take place. At least that is what it was when I was playing. The more serious players are running now and are probably in pretty good shape already.

True!

[Tiger90]

Those 7 on 7 drills has got to help in conditioning if nothing else.

The serious players have been working out all summer. Weights, agility drills & sprints.

When I was in school, we wore full pads only on Monday and Tuesday.  Wednesday was helmets & shoulder pads and Thursday was strictly film sessions.  Once district started we never wore full pads again.

I agree Bucster. Back when I was in school there was not a 7 on 7 program. Our quarterback and receivers worked out all summer. They had good timing by the time 2 a days started and were ready to fine tune what they had been doing all summer.

Your coach must of been a wimp! (J/K)

When I was in school the first 4 days were shorts & helmets followed by 6 days in full pads. When the season started we practiced in pads Mon.-Wed. shorts & helmets on Thursday. Saturday AM we watched game film, lifted weights & ran sprints to loosen up from the previous night's game.

If we played crappy on Friday night, our coach was not above making us practice after the fans had left the stadium.

Things have changed in the last 29 years!

Our 2-a days start at 7:45 in the morning and last until 12:30.  We have a one hour break in between. Conditioning, Workout, offense and defense. Monday through Friday for two weeks.

Full pads for us start on August 12th i think? Then 2 scrimmages, then the season!!!!

[stevieray]

Good Luck HJ....

Bucster....Are you serious, your coaches sometimes would make y'all stay after the fans left on friday night?  I honestly thought that was just a myth that coaches would do that.  Briles never made us do that, but you could write it in stone that we were gonna pay for it the next morning after film.

Bucster... Where did you go to high school? We had your same practice regiment as you stated, but excluding the friday night post game practice. This was 26 years ago for me.
