OGDEN, Utah-Monday, Weber State University football commenced the first “fall ball” practice of the season at Stewart Stadium.
The Wildcats will continue to practice over the next few weeks, splitting the squad into two groups.
Weber State conducted two practices in the spring of 2020 before the pandemic caused all activities to cease.
The Wildcats have won three straight Big Sky Conference titles and advanced to the NCAA FCS semifinals last year.
The NCAA Division I council recently allowed for fall practice for teams competing in the spring.
As of September 21, teams were allowed to conduct on-field practices who are playing spring football. Outside of fall ball and regular season practice, schools are limited to 12 hours weekly of countable athletics-related activity. Student-athletes must also be given two days off per week.
