Southern Gap High School- Athletics

06/18/2026

Reminder:

The 2026 Virginia High School League (VHSL) summer dead period is Sunday, June 21 to Sunday, July 5, 2026. This mandatory, statewide two-week break dictates that no coaching, workouts, weight training, conditioning, or organized team activities may occur.

Rules and Guidelines during this mandated time-off period:

No Contact: Coaches are not permitted to have contact with athletes regarding their sport, nor can they organize or direct any team activities.

Facilities Closed: Member school-sponsored weight rooms, facilities, and camps are closed to the specific sport teams.

No Camps/Clinics: Teams cannot attend or host any school-sponsored leagues or events.

This dead period applies uniformly to all athletic teams across all VHSL member schools. Violating these restrictions puts an athlete's eligibility and the coach's program status at risk.

Enjoy your time off. This would be a good time to get your physicals and get ready for the upcoming school year.
