With all the regulations on practice what schools still use the old 2 a day schedule? I've heard of some the just take like a hr break and then go back for short amount of time

This is correct, you are limited to a 15 minimum and a 20 maximum for practices starting July 28th until the first game. "2 a days" aren't really "2 a days" anymore. They are 1 long all day practice with a small break between. That's how all these schools beat "the system".

What system is there to beat?  It doesnt matter if you break the day up into three sessions or just one it counts the same as a calendar day. Each team has to have 15 minimum or 20 maximum practice sessions (sessions are calendar days) prior to the first official contest.  The only limitations is the number of hours of practice a session may last.  Total practice time is suppose to be no more than five hours in a calendar day with no individual session being longer than three hours.  So truly, one long practice isnt beating the system.

27-15-4 Fall Practice Guidelines-Schools are encouraged to consider the following practice guidelines which would apply to all students in the sports of Competitive Cheer, Cross Country, Field Hockey, Football and Volleyball. If schools choose not to follow these guidelines they must have locally approved policies and procedures that are reasonably calculated to keep student athletes safe from hot and humid weather conditions, and meet adequate conditioning, based on current sports medicine research and recommendations. VHSL will issue an official warning for first violation.

 

(1) During their first six days of tryouts:

(a) No practice session, full or walk-thru, should exceed three hours.

(b) Total practice time per day should be limited to five hours.

© Only one full practice session should be permitted per day; it may be broken into two sessions.

(d) One walk-thru session is permitted on the day of a full practice.

(e) Two walk-thru practices may be substituted for a full and a walk-thru session(s).

(f) A one-hour minimum recovery period should be included between sessions.

 

(2) For weeks two and three the following regulations should apply in addition to (a) through (f) above:

(a) Two full practices are permissible per day provided they do not exceed five total hours, or three hours in a single session.

(b) No more than three full practices should be conducted in two consecutive calendar days.

 

(3) For the purpose of the regulations above, a full practice is defined as a session allowing the use of any available equipment, involving all levels of activity permitted in the specific sport and includes necessary conditioning and weight training. A walk-thru session is a limited exertion session that includes skill-based, educational technique and oriented activities using sports appropriate equipment. Conditioning and weight training should not be included as part of a walk-thru session. Recovery period is defined as a session in which the athlete is not involved in physical activity. Note: The following restrictions are in place for football only: Day 1-3 helmets only; Day 4-5 helmets and should pads; Day 6+ full pads.

 

 

(3) Prior to the first official contest date, as published in the VHSL calendar, the football team of a member school shall have had a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 20 regular daily sessions of training and practice, the first 3 days of which players’ protective equipment shall be limited to helmets and shoes, and the next two days shall be limited to helmets, shoes and shoulder pads. Each individual player, regardless of when he/she reports for practice, must undergo the first three days wearing protective equipment limited to helmets and shoes, and the next two days shall be limited to helmets, shoes and shoulder pads.
