KSHSAA Buffer Week, Rule 9, goes into effect Monday, 11/10, through Sunday, 11/16.

During KSHSAA Buffer Week, high school athletes cannot access school facilities for workouts, and coaches are prohibited from conducting practices or conditioning. The week provides a break between fall and winter sports seasons, and winter sports practices may begin on the Monday following Buffer Week. Some voluntary non-school-related musical activities may be allowed, but school staff cannot be involved. The Fall Athletic Buffer Week does not eliminate football practice for those high schools who qualify for football play-offs until such time their football season is over.

This rule does not apply to middle school athletes, who may continue with their regular practice and season schedules.

If you have any questions, please contact our District Athletic/Activity Director, Cole Bottom.
