Long Day / Short Day
South Carolina High School Fall Sports Pre-Season Practice Plan
(Endorsed by SCATA, Ad Hoc SCHSL Preseason Acclimatization Committee)
BACKGROUND: In the summer of 2009 the Inter-association Task Force for Preseason Secondary
School Athletics* recommended preseason heat-acclimatization guidelines for secondary school athletic
programs to minimize the risk of heat illness during preseason football practice.
PURPOSE: The intent of the following “exposure-based proposal” is to promote an acclimatization and
recovery model for SCHSL Fall sports consistent with the Inter-association Task Force guidelines that
also allows coaches to appropriately prepare their teams and fits into the current SCHSL’s schedule.
PRACTICE TIMELINE:

Days 1-5: 3 hours of Practice

Day 6-14: Must alternate days Long Practice Day and Short Practice Day
o
Long Day: 5 hours of practice permitted

Divide the time to best benefit your program

Practices must be separated by 2-hours of continuous rest

Long Day can follow a Rest Day (even if the day before the Rest Day was Long
Day)
o
Short Day: 3 hours of practice permitted

Divide the time to best benefit your program

Day 15+: No restrictions on Practice
NOTES:

First practice permitted: Friday, August 2, 2013.

Practice times (including warm-up, stretching, cool-down time, conditioning) shall not exceed 3
hours.

All practices occurring Days 1-14 must be documented to show compliance.

All athletes must complete Days 1-5 of the practice timeline before being allowed to
participate in more than 3 hours of practice in a day.

Weight room activities do not count as practice time, but must be separated from practice by
at least 2 hours of continuous rest to allow for recovery.
o
Exception: No continuous rest period is required if weight room activities are counted
as a part of the day’s allotted practice time.

A Walk-through is allowed and does not count against practice time. Walk-through is defined as
a teaching opportunity with athletes:
o
not wearing protective equipment
o
not using sports-related equipment
o
participating in an indoor, climate-controlled environment.

Must have a Rest Day after 6 consecutive practice days.

Scrimmages permitted on either a Long Day or Short Day. A scrimmage will count as 3
hours.

All athletes must have a pre-participation physical exam before athletic participation.

If weather/lightning postpones practice in progress, the practice may resume after a warm-up (20
minute maximum) and the remainder of allotted practice time may be completed.
