Good morning. Please read the following carefully as it impacts GNW football for the 2026 season:
IHSA Calendar Changes Impacting Summer & 2026 Football Season
The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) has recently approved several by-law changes that will impact summer athletics and the 2026 football season. We want to communicate these updates early so families can plan accordingly.
IHSA No Contact Week – July 4th Week
Beginning next summer, the IHSA has established a mandatory statewide “No Contact Week” that will occur annually during the Fourth of July week. For 2026, this week will be June 29 – July 5.
During this week, schools are not permitted to hold practices, competitions, open gyms, conditioning, or weight training.
As part of this change, the previous IHSA no-contact week that occurred in early August has been eliminated.
Impact on August Football Activities
With the August dead week no longer in place, football-related activities will more than likely begin during that first week of August. At this time, we are still evaluating whether our program will add an additional dead week later in July, but no decision has been made yet.
For now, when planning summer vacations and family commitments, we ask families to plan with the expectation that the first week of August will be used for football activities.
Additional Football Calendar Changes
The IHSA has also approved changes to the football season structure beginning in 2026, including:
The elimination of the Week 0 scrimmage
The start of regular-season football games moving up one week
An expansion of the IHSA football playoffs
We will continue to communicate details as schedules and plans become more finalized.
Thank you for your continued support and flexibility as we adjust to these statewide changes. Our goal is to provide clarity as early as possible while continuing to prioritize the health, development, and overall experience of our student-athletes.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Thanks you!
