The season begins August 1st which is when teams are eligible to start practice. Typically teams will practice 3 times during the week in the month of August. Once school begins in September the teams will practice 2 times during the week, once on Saturday and play the games on Sunday. Locations of the games vary depending on opponent with a split of 4 home games and 4 away games. The season will last through early November with the potential for teams to make the playoffs which could last another 2 weeks.
