FALL ATHLETIC BUFFER WEEK
Art. 1: There shall be no athletic practice, off-season conditioning,
informal basketball shooting, working out
on wrestling mats, etc., in school-owned facilities
during the Fall Athletic Buffer Week, commencing on
Monday of Standardized Calendar Week (SCW) #19,
through Sunday, SCW #20. Athletic activities of this
nature may not be held under the supervision of a
school staff member in non-school facilities. This means
a moratorium on all school-sponsored athletic activities
during this week.
Gymnasiums shall not be open to the students during
the Fall Athletic Buffer Week for the purpose of shooting
baskets, working out with weights, etc., outside
of school hours. Noon hour and physical education
classes are considered part of the school day.
The Fall Athletic Buffer Week does not eliminate football
practice for those senior high schools who qualify for
football play-offs until such time their football season is
over. The same applies to the gymnastics program.
EXCEPTION: Players, no more than three boys and
three girls from each participating school’s basketball
team, will be allowed to participate in clinics designed
to promote and improve basketball officiating prior to
SCW #20. The following restrictions will apply:
a. The clinic must be approved by the Kansas State
High School Activities Association
b. Students may participate in only one such clinic per
year.
