The SDHSAA Summer Moratorium rules prohibit school-sponsored activities and contact between coaches and student-athletes in grades 7-12 from July 1 to July 7 each year. This means:
- No team or individual practices, training, or lessons
- No open gyms or conditioning programs
- No coaching, guidance, or supervision by school personnel
- No use of school facilities, equipment, or resources
However, student-athletes can participate in camps, clinics, or programs on their own initiative, as long as they are not organized by their school or involve school personnel.
