High schools cannot start formal practices until that date. The actual schedule will vary school by school and sport by sport. There may be optional summer conditioning offered. For vacation planning purposes 8/12 is the end of your summer.

If you want to do Fall sports, you have to be back on the state designated start day for try outs. And if you make the team you have practice every day. End your vacation before hand.

DS is a rising freshman and is interested in trying out for pickelball and cross country. Can you explain to me how the tryouts and practices work over the summer? Do the tryouts begin on 8/13 and does practice begin before school starts? Are the kids expected to practice every day and is it during the morning/early afternooon or is it late afternoon?
