Today marks the first day of conditioning for 1A through 4A, along with 5A/6A schools that didn’t go through spring practice. 

No contact is allowed. Helmets only as well.  

Saturday, August 9th marks the first day of full contact for those schools.

Monday, August 11th is the first day of conditioning for 5/6A schools that went through spring training. 

They can begin full contact on August 16th.

Other Key Dates:

08/14-16 - First scrimmage for 1A-4A and 5/6A that did not do spring ball.

08/21-23 - Second scrimmage for 1A-4A and 5/6A that did not do spring ball. First (and usually only) scrimmage for 5/6A that DID participate in spring ball.

08/28-30 Season begins.

Note: 7 day rule applies between all scrimmages and games. 1-4A can play a third scrimmage if they don’t play week one. 5-6A can play a second if they don’t play week one.

Another step to the best time of year.  I’ve gotten out of touch with high school mostly since my kid graduated.  Enjoy!

I mean they should just let everyone do Spring ball and start now. Seems silly to keep separating the two, imo. But it is exciting. Permian vs Plano week 1, as someone put it on the 6a forum "The battle of the has beens" lol.
