Football Weekly Practice Record Process
On the computer, Tommy or a designated person should input student-athlete names into each coaches practice record sheet under the column "Student-Athlete's Name." This must be updated every week as student-athletes eligibility for practice and competition may change. For example, a student-athlete may become academically ineligible or graduate and are no longer working out with the team. As such, their name must be removed from the practice records. Also, if a student-athlete changes positions/coaches, their name must be moved to the appropriate coaches practice record. A weekly roster is sent by Carrie Lowe noting such changes and can be obtained from the head coach (Patty).
On the computer, Tommy or designated person should document the week in upper right-hand corner. Weeks run Sunday through Saturday. See checklist that provides all weeks in which practice records must be submitted. Also, make sure the season (i.e., fall 2001, spring 2002) in the upper left-hand corner is correct.
Tommy will have the individual coaches document daily practice times and activities (i.e., practice, meetings, conditioning, weight training, film/video review, competition, day off, etc.) on the appropriate day and total daily hours. NOTE: You must provide one day off each week defined as Sunday through Saturday. Also, competition always counts as 3 hours no matter what.
The coaches will total weekly hours.
The coaches will obtain all student-athlete signatures. This should not be done until the practice hours have been completed at the top of the form. Please note it is important that all student-athletes sign the practice records, yet if you are unable to obtain a couple student-athletes' signatures before the day they are due, please note the reason in the signature column. This is okay as long as it does not continue to happen every time. Also, it is imperative that if a student-athlete's practice schedule varies from the rest of the team (i.e., injured in the middle of the week, declared ineligible in the middle of the week, etc.), that you document that on the practice record sheet.
The coaches will sign the practice record and return to Tommy by the following Tuesday.
Tommy will obtain Kelvin's (Head Strength and Conditioning Coach) signature.
Tommy will submit all coaches completed records to Lori in the Compliance Office by the following Wednesday and document on his checklist the day they were submitted. It is imperative that these records be completed and submitted in a timely manner.
