I'm reading an article in the Minneapolis paper that says the Gophers will be starting "summer practice" next week, at least that's how I interpreted it. Does that mean the Redbirds will be getting it going? Anyone know what's up? Would be great to hear some "real" news!

Is Minnesota going overseas to play? That's usually the only reason you get to practice early.

Yes, I know. I assumed he was talking about official practice with coaches, organized. Not individual or small group workouts without coaches or whatever the rules are for 98% of the teams in the summer.

Frankly, I dont understand why they cant practice with coaches in the summer at this point.

Thought I read that the Birds don't officially have to be back until the 19th. I know the Aces are back already

That makes sense. The youth camp is the following week and the players are always there for that.

Yes, the article seemed to be saying "official practice with coaches" etc. Not totally sure.

So they aren't listed on that site. Not sure what they are doing then. Did the practice rules change?

You get so many on court hours with staff during summer. Teams going on trips only get real practice so long before their trip.

A student-athlete who is enrolled in at least three degree-applicable credit hours (six degree-applicable credit hours for incoming freshman) in one summer term that is fewer than eight weeks in duration may engage in required weight-training, conditioning, and skill-related instruction for up to eight weeks (not required to be consecutive weeks). Participation in such activities shall be limited to a maximum of eight hours per week with not more than four hours per week spent on skill-related instruction.
