Sachem East 卒業生(する) Carlin Schledorn, who played football as a junior, said carrying the スピードを出す/記録につける - about 12 feet (3.7 メーターs) long and the 直径 of a 公共事業(料金)/有用性 政治家 - was a "team building" 演習.

"It's very big. It's like a tree, and it's a challenge for people who weightlift," he said. "Five or six people do it at once. I feel horrific for the team and coaches because I know them, and they are all 広大な/多数の/重要な men."

School 公式の/役人s, 含むing the 長,率いる coach, did not comment on the 演習.

A person at Mileto's home 拒絶する/低下するd to speak with reporters.

Some colleges and other high schools around the country have 会社にする/組み込むd スピードを出す/記録につける-carrying 演習s and other 軍の-奮起させるd 演習s into their football 準備s in 最近の years, いつかs bringing in SEALs to teach and 動機づける.

Players at Indiana's New Albany High School teamed up last month to こども 6-foot-long, 200-続けざまに猛撃する スピードを出す/記録につけるs 2 miles from a 地元の amphitheater to the school.

SEALs and Green Berets trained the players first on how to 解除する the スピードを出す/記録につけるs and carry them on their shoulders, coach Steve Cooley said. …を伴ってd by coaches and a police 護衛する, the groups paused for water and put the スピードを出す/記録につけるs 負かす/撃墜する every one or two 封鎖するs, and each six-person squad had an extra man who could sub in if someone got tired.

"The 目的 was not to try to see how 堅い they are ... the 目的 was to 遂行する a goal," Cooley said. "It was very rewarding for all of us."

But after Mileto's death on Thursday, sports safety 専門家 Douglas Casa questioned the 知恵 of having 十代の少年少女s 成し遂げる an 演習 that 伴う/関わるs carrying a 激しい 反対する and that was developed for 海軍 SEALs, "潜在的に a very different clientele."

Football, at all levels, has become more safety-conscious in 最近の years まっただ中に scrutiny of 長,率いる 傷害s in the sport. In college football, for instance, the NCAA this year 閉めだした the two-a-day 接触する practices that coaches once used to toughen up their teams in the preseason, though many teams had ended them already.

For high schools in Suffolk 郡, offseason practices are permitted as long as they are not 委任統治(領)d and are open to everyone, said Tom 徹底的に捜すs, (n)役員/(a)執行力のある director of the 運動競技の organization that 監督するs high school sports in the 郡.

"What 演習s that are 行為/行うd are the privy of the school 地区 and individuals running the workouts," he said.

In an 関係のない 出来事/事件, another player fell and 攻撃する,衝突する his 長,率いる Wednesday at the school during training, police said. His 傷害s were not life-脅すing.
