spring practice or 2-a-days

[Humblefied]

What is the rule to what a team can and can't do depending on if they chose spring practice or the 2-a-days way. I've talked to alot of players from other schools who say that they do both, but I don't think thats possible. A couple of other people have said that how much spring practice you do depends on how many days of 2-a-days you are allowed to do.

isnt it that if u dont do spring football you can start practice like 2 weeks early?

Schools that choose to hold spring practice (18 padded practices over 30 days) start a week later in August. Schools that do not hold spring practices start a week earlier and can have up to six "two-a-day" practices. Most schools choose to hold spring practice, but some do not. There are pro's and con's to each, but most prefer spring ball, especially for their younger players, their linemen, and their defense.

You know personally i like Spring Ball better then 2-a-Days its a little bit cooler and in all honesty its more safe and players can pay attention longer in the cool weather. On the down side, players are also dealing with school and exams and stuff like that durning spring ball, they also have a whole summer to forget that trash...

I like it better too from a trainers standpoint because we recieve most of our injuries from those two weeks of two-a-days. Besides, I don't really believe that exams and school really don't factor in that big of a deal with football players at our school. Most seem to keep up their grades during the first semester.

The coaches who do not hold spring practice do so for various reasons: kids in other sports unable to participate in some or all of spring ball, conflicts with end of the semester exams and grades, preferring two-a-day practices without interference from school or other sports, having a second scrimmage and still playign Week Zero (thus allowing for an open week at some point in the season, etc. Having siad that, most coaches prefer the spring.
