Week-by-week high school football schedules

It will not be long before high school football players hit the field for real as they prepare for the 2022 season.

Currently, players are in summer conditioning to get ready for the grind of the upcoming season. Some skill position players are participating in 7v7 camps, while the linemen head to down-and-dirty camps.

Football practice in Florida begins Aug. 1 (non-contact) with the first contact on Aug. 6. Fall kickoff classics are from Aug. 17 to 20 with most of the area teams playing on the 19th. The first regular season game is Aug. 26. The teams in the Florida High School Athletic Association conclude Oct. 28. The regular season for teams in the Sunshine State Athletic Conference end a week earlier on Oct. 21.
