RULESAREASFOLLOWS:
(ExcerptfromWIAAsportshandbook)
PRACTICE REGULATIONS - School sponsorship or promotion of practice and/or participation in a given sport contest must be
restricted to the WIAA designated season for that sport. Several practice regulations that apply to all sports during the school year are
as follows.
17.12.1
17.12.2 17.12.3
17.12.5 17.12.6
17.12.7
17.12.8 17.12.9
17.12.10
PRACTICE DEFINITION – Practice is defined as a regularly scheduled team physical activity designed for the preparation of athletes
for the ensuing sports season and must be conducted under the supervision of the school coach. Participation in physical education
classes does not constitute a practice.
For the purpose of meeting the pre-contest practice requirements, an athlete must participate in a majority of a designated practice
time. An individual may meet pre-contest practice requirements only when practicing during regular team practices.
Practice shall be limited to each sports season as defined under each sport. Practices in one (1) sport can not be transferred toward
the number of practices required in another sport.
17.12.4
A coach of a school team (paid or volunteer) may conduct practice only during the WIAA sport season.
One (1) day is equal to one (1) practice for purposes of meeting the minimum practice requirements.
Practice days are considered to be Monday through Saturday.
A.
Sundays may not be counted toward meeting the minimum practice requirements.
B.
A nationally recognized holiday is an allowable practice day.
Practice on a game day shall not allow an athlete to become eligible for competition on that day.
Participation in pre-contest warm-up exercises shall not count as a required practice.
Interruption of Pre-contest Practices - If an individual athlete's pre-contest practice is interrupted, the following procedure will be used
to assure that an appropriate period of practice precedes interscholastic competition:
A.
An interruption of up to three (3) consecutive school scheduled practice days, excluding Sunday, will have no effect on the
value of previous practice days in determining compliance with pre-contest practice requirements. For example: If an athlete has
completed seven (7) days of practice and then did not practice for three (3) consecutive school scheduled practice days, excluding
Sunday, the previous seven (7) days would still count toward the minimum individual practices required before interscholastic
competition.
B.
Beginning with the fourth (4) consecutive school scheduled practice day without practice, the total number of days missed will
be subtracted from the number of days previously practiced to determine compliance with pre-contest practice requirements. For
example: If an athlete completed six (6) days of practice, and then did not practice for five (5) school scheduled practice days, only
one (1) of the previous practice days could be counted toward meeting the minimum pre-contest requirement. If an athlete completed
eight (8) days, and then missed five (5) days, only three (3) of the previous days could be counted toward meeting the minimum precontest practice requirements.
C.
Once the pre-contest practice requirements have been met, each school has the authority to establish minimum requirements
regarding return to play.
Waiver of Individual Practice Requirements
A.
An individual who participates in any level of WIAA sanctioned sport post season sports playoffs and who cannot meet the
minimum practice requirements for the succeeding sport will be allowed to waive up to a maximum of one-half of the required
individual practice days for that sport only if the available team practice days for each individual involved in the preceding playoffs are
insufficient to meet the minimum requirement before a scheduled contest.
B.
An individual, who participated and qualified in the alternate (fall) season for a spring state championship and who also
participates in a spring sport, will be allowed to waive up to a maximum of one-half of the required individual practice days for the
alternate season sport before a scheduled contest in that sport.
