2015 Super Essex Conference
Summer Non-Contact Period Procedures
Overview
The membership of the Super Essex Conference has decided to implement various steps in the hope of curtailing the rise of concussions and other injuries for all sports within our Conference. Certain groups may like to maintain the status quo, however the SEC believes that in order to make our sports safer and in turn, more enjoyable and rewarding for all – a paradigm shift in the way we coach and approach the game must occur.
We will begin by returning a portion of the summer back to our families within our communities. Beginning in the summer of 2015 the program is mandated (voluntary in 2014) and we will hopefully help reinstate the summer family vacation. High School summer practice sessions, which have become more and more intrusive on our families over the years, will now shut down for nine (9) straight days. Coaches will NOT be permitted to work with their players in sport related activities during this time period. The Non-Contact Period will also prohibit, but not be limited to; coach led conditioning, weight training and film review sessions. All levels of all sports sponsored by they Super Essex Conference will adhere to the Non-Contact Period Policy. It is our goal to give families the opportunity, once again, to plan and enjoy a summer vacation.
