Tampa Bay's training camp opens Friday, when the Buccaneers' 80 players and coaches will check in at the Celebration Hotel at Walt Disney World.
The first workout will be held Saturday at 8:30 a.m.

There will be two practices, generally running from 8:30-11 a.m., and 2:45-4 p.m. on most days, all of which are free and open to the public. But several changes have been made to the camp regimen this year. Most prominently, there will be a night practice, scheduled for Aug. 7.

The team has also scheduled several "walk-through" practices inside a tent, which will be closed to the public. The indoor sessions are a hedge against wasting time in case of afternoon thunderstorms.

Those one-hour sessions will be the second half of outdoor afternoon practices on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Sunday, Aug. 3.

The first break from two-a-day workouts will come Saturday, Aug. 2, when the afternoon practice is canceled. The next break will follow a week later, when the Buccaneers travel to Miami for the first preseason game against the Dolphins.

Camp will resume on Aug. 11 for the final three-day run, before it breaks on Thursday, Aug. 14.

Here is a guide for the Buccaneers training camp, provided by the team's media relations department. Please be advised that the practice schedule and all times are subject to change.
