I went to high school in western PA and played high school football there. We practiced every Monday thru Thursday night of the week during the summer, at the school, using school facilities.

We lifted weights, ran, worked on non-contact position specific technique, had some fun pickup games. All of it attended and organzied by the coaches.

It was offered by Parks and Rec....and open to ANYONE who wanted to participate. Unwritten rule for football players was that it was mandatory.

Now......at the time this was legal. Not sure if it still is. But it was....becasue it was open to everyone.

Comparing situations like this......to the DSC-Northwestern one....is crazed. Dumb rules madeup by small minded people.
