Captains' Practice

From the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) Handbook:

Participation in Captain’s Practice

Captain’s Practice is primarily for the purpose of physical conditioning organized and conducted by the students. Students may participate in Captains’ Practice provided that salaried or non-salaried school personnel are not involved in any capacity. It is the responsibility of school officials to become aware of the preseason activities in their school district and to insure that the spirit and intent of the League rules are observed.

• Captains’ practices are not and cannot be district-sponsored. 
• Captains' practices must be initiated, organized and administered by captains only. Adult supervision is required.
• Attendance should be voluntary and should not be limited.
• Coaches may not in any way organize or enforce captains' practices. 
• Captains' practices will be limited to the two weeks prior to the start of the season and will be scheduled on a space available basis.

Renting District Facilities for Captains’ Practice

• Captains’ practices need to be secured through Eden Prairie Schools Rental reservations.
• Captains’ practices must be supervised by an adult (in accordance with MSHSL personnel requirements) and the adult must remain with the students during the practice.
• Facility scheduling for each of the seasons will follow the district scheduling procedure and time frames as outlined:
  • June 1 for fall times
  • October 1 for winter times
  • February 1 for spring times
