During the playing season student-athletes are limited to 20 hours of athletically related activities per week, with no more than 4 hours per day.  Competitions count as 3 hours regardless of their duration.  This is applicable to all sports, with the exception that a practice round of golf may exceed the four-hours-per-day limitation, but the weekly limit of 20 hours shall remain in effect. 

Hour limitations outside of the playing season, during the academic year, are limited to 8 hours per week.  Countable athletically related activities include any required activity with an athletics purpose involving student-athletes and at the direction of, or supervised by one or more of an institution’s coaching staff members (including strength and conditioning coaches).  Coaches are not permitted to require or coerce an athlete into voluntary practices or workouts.

The following table outlines the playing and practice seasons in each sport, in accordance to the permissible dates in the NCAA Division I Manual (Figure 17-2).
