- When there has been an interruption to a competitive season of more than two weeks, the coaches must provide appropriate practice/training time before competition may resume.
- Athletes must be appropriately supervised during all phases of activity, including warm-up, training/practices, competition, and cool-down. If a coach cannot fulfill the specified level of supervision, the activity must be stopped.
