Did You Know: Strategy 2.B

Allowing for proper rest and recovery reduces the risk of injury, and maximizes weekly practice and preparation time. A longer recovery time between games would also enable players sufficient time to work through the return-to-play protocol and may deter players from rushing through the protocol to return to competition during a short practice week.

NOTE:

• Make-up or rescheduled games (due to weather or unforeseen circumstances) may be scheduled with a minimum of two full calendar days in between. For example, if a team already players on Monday, a make-up game could take place as early as Thursday. Mandate: 2017
