Every high school in Missouri must determine a 9-day “dead period” for their school during which there is no contact between a coach or sponsor with any students in their programs. The dates that we can not have any instruction with our athletes by our coaching staff or use of our facilites is 6/29/13 - 07/07/13
MSHSAA Definition of "dead period:"A period of defined length in which no contact takes place between school coaches/directors of MSHSAA sponsored activities and students enrolled in the member school, or who will be enrolled in the member school during the next school year. Further, during the dead period school facilities are not utilized by enrolled students in connection with any sport or activity governed by MSHSAA. The dead period is a "no school activities time." No open gyms, competitions, practices, conditioning, weight training; no activity-related functions or fundraisers, camps or clinics at school facilities or sponsored elsewhere by the school; no coaches/directors or students may have planned contact other than casual, normal community, non-activity contact. The school dead period must be the same for all sports and activities. While there may be sports activities during this time, they must not involve the school coach, the school or school facilities.
