This year the SCC
established August 1st, as the first day practice is allowed.
The first week of practice is conditioning. No
pads are allowed; however, your coach may ask that each player bring
their helmet. Beginning on August 8th, full contact practice
will begin. Each player must have 10 hours of conditioning
before they may wear pads. If your son or daughter misses a
day of conditioning, they need to make that up before they may
participate in full contact.
This is a safety
issue, so please be cooperative with your respective head coach.
This year, our
practice field space for the August time frame will again be
challenging but workable. We will be utilizing multiple sites
around the Penninsula, which will communicated to you by your Head
Coach or General Manager.
In
early September, practice time is reduced to three days for
tackle and 2 days for flag. It is up to the discretion of each Head
Coach to establish the times for practice for their teams within the
guidelines for the facilities that we are using.
It is important to
note that our facilities have strict guidelines for our use of those
facilities and your cooperation in following those rules will insure we
are allowed to continue to use those facilities. These
guidelines may include start and stop times, parking restrictions, and
always insuring that our trash is picked up and put in the proper
receptacles.
By
order of the Superintendent of Schools, due to pressure from a small,
but vocal group of PVHS Neighbors, the entry gate to the PVHS field
from Epping Road (south side of school) will be closed. So, for
Equipment Distribution, as well as for our games at PVHS, visitors must
park in the school lots, accessed from Cloyden Road (north
side of the school). From the parking lots, visitors
can walk down the one-way road to the baseball field and
then walk between the baseball field and the tennis courts
(third-base line) over to the football field. Visitors can
also drop their child/children off (or park if there is room) at the
baseball field and then drive around the block and park in the school
lot.
The football
practice sites also have certain site specific guidelines that we must
adhere to. Please understand, our adherence to these
guidelines helps insure that we will be able to continue to use these
facilities. Your cooperation and support are greatly
appreciated.
