Practices

Glad to see you back up and typing MST.

As for your question I have never seen nor heard of any type of rule in Kentucky or North Carolina. I would say it might be a Maryland thing.

Happy to see you MST! Here in New Jersey I have NEVER heard of such a rule and I have coached for 14 years (Varsity Baseball) and umpired for another 14.

I had never heard it either, I want to investigate. I have a feeling the principal is saying that when it isn't true. He isn't a fanof sports and tolerates it at best.

In the Central Coast Section of California, practices are limited to 3 hours per session, with at least 2 hours between sessions. That's for all sports.

I won't quote all of the activities that qualify as practice, but they include "any school team or individual activity that includes skill drills, game situation drills, inter-squad scrimmages or games, chalk talks, film review, meetings outside of school time (excluding parent meetings)."
