Rules for "spring football" in PA

[2020sports]

I have seen a few social media folks in the Pittsburgh Area say "we should have spring football" in PA.

I'm wondering what the means? What do other states do? Is PA football really "held back" by rules/restrictions for HS football in the spring?

I understand the value of playing other sports, but so many kids are "only playing football" anyways- I'm wondering if our kids are missing out on development, compared to other states, nationally?

I know WPIAL teams have spring practices, because they invite college teams to come watch them. Are they looking to be fully padded? Full contact? Scrimmages? I've seen some of the posts and I'm not sure either what some of these guys want.

Beauty of football at youth and high school level = finite season. We don't need to become like every other year-round travel mess (soccer, baseball, lacrosse, etc) that has kids burned-out Sophomore year.
