NCAA Division II Winter Break Rules

Student-athletes in all sports at NCAA Division II colleges and universities will get a few days to step away from their sport and enjoy time with family and friends due to the week-long Division II “Winter Break” which starts next week

During the period from December 20-26, Division II coaches are not permitted to require that their student-athletes participate in any countable athletically-related activities (games, practices, conditioning workouts, team meetings, etc.).

Furthermore, student-athletes who may be staying on campus during this period of Dec. 20-26 (such as international student-athletes) or those who live near their campus are not allowed to participate in any voluntary athletic activities in a campus facility unless that facility is open to the general student population during this period.
