Most (if not all) HS programs practice 5-6 days per week.
In order to get the school season in, games/practices will be permitted 7 days a week.
So how are clubs expecting their players to practice 5-6 days per week and play 1-2 games per week with their school teams and still practice and play with the club?
I know I'm inviting a ton of "you're a wimp" and "did your kid get cut" responses, but 9+ practice/game sessions in a week is very bad for a young athlete's physical health and a pretty big strain on their mental health as well.
Why are we intentionally doing this to 15-18 year olds?
