Summer Practice Schedule

In Illinois, we get 25 "contact" days from the end of school to July 30 that we can use for organized team activities. The last few years, we have used our days for a football camp, 7 on 7 tournaments, and a full-team, full-contact 3-day overnight camp at Illinois Weselyan University in Bloomington, Illinois.

Between the end of school and the start of pads we must have a 3 week dead period in which players may only lift weights with a coach. The coach can not have any other contact.
