grantsrc Here in Missouri: Sept. 1 for a few schools (my first V game) Sept. 2 for all other schools in the area
[deleted] Here in Nebraska, practices started for most schools yesterday. A handful (I believe it was 26) started last week on the 8th since they have a Week 0 game. Week 0 is "early season" game, but count against the 8 or 9 game limit (depending on classification). Week 0 (first game for the 26 schools playing in that) is August 25 or 26, while Week 1 (the "normal" opening weekend) is September 1 or 2. Next year's going to be a mess as Class A (our biggest class) will be doing a different schedule than the rest of the classes.
Mark Dexter I'm jealous - youth football doesn't start until the 28th, and HS scrimmages don't start until 2 weeks from today. I'm not working varsity yet, so I'm not totally sure when the regular season starts.
bigwes68 Week 0 is this week - first few games are Aug. 18-20. Everyone else starts next week (8/26).
Forksref Originally posted by Whistles & Stripes When's your opening day? Alaska opened this past weekend (Aug 13-14). Worked a JV and a V contest. No major problems. Had an ejection, which is always ugly, but also a 90 yard kick off return for a TD. Who cares? Got any rules questions?
The Roamin' Umpire Most schools have a scrimmage on Aug. 27. Scrimmages are kind of odd here - lots of schools at each site, playing round-robin for a set number of plays against each other school, both on offense and defense. Opening weekend is Sept. 2-3.
