Due to a change in the Pacific-10 Conference's acclimatization period, the Arizona State University football team will spend an extra day at Camp Tontozona this fall, thus providing for a traditional Saturday scrimmage while at Camp for the first time in a few seasons. It will also allow the team to conduct two practices on the first day of camp.
The Sun Devils, scheduled to depart for Camp Tontozona workouts on Wednesday, August 10, will now leave for Camp on Tuesday, August 9th in the late afternoon. This will allow the squad to conduct two practices on Wednesday, August 10. There will be two scrimmages, complete with officials, held while the team is at Camp Tontozona. The first will be at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, August 13 while the second will be at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, August 19. Both scrimmages will end at approximately 11:30 a.m. The team will break Camp following the August 19 scrimmage and return to the Valley.
Camp Tontozona two-a-days will be held on August 10, 12, 14 and 16 with practices running from 8:30-11 a.m. and 4-6 p.m. Single practices will be held on August 11, 15, 17 and 18 from 8:30-11:15 a.m.
Practices during the acclimatization period will run from Friday, August 5 through Tuesday, August 9 at the Kajikawa Practice Facility. Practices will run from 7:30-10:30 a.m. daily, except for August 5 which will be 6-9 p.m. due to second session summer school final exams.
All practices during the acclimatization period in Tempe and at Camp Tontozona are open to the general public and the media.
