The state of California raises practice limits to 75 student-athletes

The State of California has officially changed its health guidelines as it pertains to the limitations on number of participants in organized team practices for the university system. Formerly, it allowed a maximum of 12 student-athletes to participate in practices, obviously making it near-impossible for a football team to complete an actual practice, but according to new guidelines, those limitations are now placed at 75 student-athletes.

California has updated its guidelines related to cohorts in sports. Teams can train in groups of no more than 75 while outside with the recommendation of groups of 25, where possible.
