Scrimmages

Only two scrimmages are allowed per varsity sport and one per junior varsity sport.  A scrimmage is a practice session between two or among three organized teams, or between groups of players representing their respective teams, or between one organized team and a group of players from another organized team, which is representing its team in play.  Member schools are prohibited from participating in, or allowing their teams or players representing the teams to participate in more than two scrimmages in any sport.  Scrimmages are teaching situations at which coaches are expected to interrupt the practice session to provide instruction from time to time.  Prior to any scrimmage, the coach should outline the basic purpose and aims of the particular scrimmage so that the players may receive the maximum training and practice from the scrimmage.  Players should not wear game uniforms for a scrimmage, nor are officials to be paid (exception: JV football).  The Student Activities Coordinator must be notified of any scheduled scrimmages.
