TigersFan Posted August 14, 2025 Share Posted August 14, 2025 Heard a few schools were practicing last week with pads on. A local coach told me it was supposed to just be helmets last week. Anyone know for sure? Also what happens to the schools that practiced early with pads on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionpack Posted August 15, 2025 Share Posted August 15, 2025 What does 1 year disciplinary probation entail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vott Posted August 15, 2025 Share Posted August 15, 2025 1 hour ago, lionpack said: What does 1 year disciplinary probation entail? That if the team who is on probation now does something that requires disciplinary action down the line this season it could result in being ineligible for the playoffs or possibly wont be able to have a spring training. Pretty much means teams that are now on probation better not do something dumb during the regular season like have a small scuffle in the handshake line after the game. Or have players leave the bench if a small scuffle breaks out during the game. In other words they are on thin ice right now and the season hasnt even started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you know players now where them shorts with the thigh pads in practice. So thats not considered full gear. Teams and coaches are gonna find a loophole.

That's why those schools have already been put on probation and others will be as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastfootballfanman Posted August 19, 2025 Share Posted August 19, 2025 Here is the full rule from the MHSAA Handbook for 2025-2026 year regarding practice. "The football season shall extend from Monday, August 4, 2025, for classes 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A and 7A through the first full weekend in December. A scrimmage may be played August 22, 2025, for all classes. The regular season playing date will be August 28, 2025, for all classes. (With the beginning of fall football practice, players shall not wear football pads of any kind, football togs or football jerseys. Week 1 (Monday through Friday) helmets, face guards, mouthpieces and shoes are legal for the first week of practice (5 days). Week 2 Monday through Friday, shoulder pads can be worn – shorts/shoulder pads and helmets. After the completion of weeks 1 and 2, players can begin to practice in full gear.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some teams make it a annual things and teams take pride in it. "Team-building stupidity?" Whats your point there?? Not every school has the same culture. Some take pride in things like that. Explain how using it as team building is stupid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
