Definition of the Summertime Dead Period:  A period of defined length in which no contact takes place between school coaches/directors of MSHSAA-sponsored activities and students enrolled in the member school, or who will be enrolled in the member school during the next school year.  Further, during the dead periods, school facilities are not utilized by enrolled students in connection with any sport or activity governed by MSHSAA.  The dead period is a "no school activities time"; no open gyms, competitions, practices, conditioning, weight training; no activity-related functions or fundraisers, camps or clinics at school facilities or sponsored elsewhere by the school; no coaches/directors or students may have planned contact other than casual, normal community, non-activity contact.  While there may be sports activities during this time, they must not involve the school coach, the school, or the facilities.
