Dead Period?

Does anybody else have this? Here in Hillbilly Hell, we have a magical thing called Dead Period, where you can't talk to your coach or set foot on your school track to train from June 25-July 9. I personally think it is retarded. I have to do track workouts at some random high school.

we kinda have that I guess.. we arent allowed to train with our coaches all of august or something like that. We meet with an old senior who just tells us what to do

We aren't allowed to train as a team in the summer.

yeah july 1-4

We have a moritorium this week (all sports).

Why would you want to train on the track for XC anyways?

We cannot have organized practices till the third day of school.

we can't have organized practices during the summer..

our coach cant tell us what to run but he runs with us.

We're not allowed to practice in the summer at all, but we do anyway. Our school doesn't really realize that we exist, so we get away with it.

We have "Black Out Week" this week (first week of July) every year. The coaches tell us our mileage ahead of time, but they can't come to practice. Our team had the upcoming seniors lead practice all week. But otherwise we practice together as a team 6 Days a week, every week, all summer.

We can't have practice with out coach. So our number 1 just pretty much acts like our coach. A little later in the summer we go to the county park and act like our coach just happened to show up.

We just can't do anything the week of the fourth. We usually just meet up like usual and practice without the coach.

+1, Especially during the summer. If we ever do intervals during the summer (not often) it's in grass or occasionally on roads.

That seems quite popular.

haha hillbilly hell.

well we're not allowed to have an official practice until like 3 days before school. but we can run with our coach if we want, and some of us do.

i think only 1 person from my xc team is still in hk, and she leaves in like a week, so we dont have practices during the summer.
