Two-A-Days (football)

Two-A-Days, sometimes referred to as Hell Week or Double Sessions, is a term in football to describe when a team holds practice twice a day: in the morning, and in the afternoon or evening. For high school football, Two-A-Days are usually toward the end of summer vacation and the beginning of the season. Some Two-A-Day sessions are held on a daily basis, even after the school year begins, with teams holding practice before and after school.

Hell Week is majorly a time for high school teams to get in shape for the season, and learn new strategies.

In the National Football League, teams run double sessions and sometimes triple sessions for several weeks during the pre-season. Those practices are called Training Camp, and most teams travel to distant locations to hold their preparations.

The concept behind two practices a day for a week in the late summer has also been adapted by high school marching bands.Fact|date=January 2008
