School Holiday Practices • Effective immediately, coaches are discouraged from having practices on holidays and holiday weekends, such as Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Columbus Day, etc. This certainly includes practices that involve parents providing transportation to and from practice. In the event that practice is necessary due to contests scheduled immediately after the holiday in question, those practices are to be structured as optional or open gym formats. Players should not be penalized for their absence, i.e. losing the ability to start or play significant time in the next scheduled contest.
