Cougs announce preseason camp schedule; Practices begin Aug. 2

Washington State will hold the first two days of practice in Pullman before heading to Sacajawea Junior High School in Lewiston, Idaho, on Friday, Aug. 4. WSU will spend a week in Lewiston, similar to past seasons under Coach Leach.

The Cougars begin with helmets-only practices the first two days of fall camp, and will add shoulder pads on Day 3 (Aug. 4). The first practice in full pads will take place Aug. 6. Practices will be open to the media and public the first two days in Pullman and the entire time in Lewiston. All media interviews with Head Coach Mike Leach, members of the coaching staff and student-athletes will be conducted after practice.

When the team returns to Pullman, the team is scheduled to take its first off day Aug. 12, before resuming practice at Rogers Field and Martin Stadium Aug. 13. Practices will continue to be open to the media and public, and student-athletes will also be available following those practices.

Beginning Wednesday, Aug. 24, the first 15 minutes of practice will be open to the media and will then be closed for the remainder of the session. Interviews with coach Leach and the coaching staff will be conducted after practice. Student-athletes will not be available for media interviews until following the Montana State game.

The Cougars open their 2017 season Sept. 2 hosting Montana State at Martin Stadium with a 7:30 p.m. start on FS1.
