Playing and Practice Seasons
The NCAA has established time limitations on your athletics participation. Your participation in countable athletically related activities is limited to a maximum of four hours per day and 20 hours per week, with one day off (which may include a travel day). A competition counts as 3 hours, with practice activities subsequent to the competition prohibited. Official vacation periods as designated by the University during the academic year are exempt from time limitation rules.

_ Required practice and competition;
_ Required weight training and conditioning;
_ Two hours of individual skills instruction by the coach, which was voluntarily requested by the student-athlete;
_ Participation in individual workouts;
_ Departmental review of athletic practice or contest films or videotapes;
_ Athletically related meetings upon direction of the coach;
_ Required on-court/on-field activities; and
_ Required camp, clinic, or workshop participation.
