    How many games per season are considered reasonable?

    Our team this Spring did not participate any tournaments, and had 2 games in March, 3 games in Apr, and will have 6 games in May, 0 in June. So total 11 games this Spring. Is this above average or below average?

    If its a town travel team, that's about right. Most teams actually don't play even that many league games. I'd say most clubs play around 5 tournaments between spring and fall and 8 league games. If you have a coach that cares, maybe another half dozen friendlies.

    My kid's U11 team will play 8 league games and 7 or 8 total tournament games (2 tourneys) this spring (March-June), plus 3 friendlies.

      7-10 league games in the fall and 7 in the spring is pretty reasonable.
      Most township travel teams will do 1 -2 tournaments in the fall and maybe one in the spring.

      more isn't better if the kids aren't learning skills outside of games.

      Soccer is too physical to compare it to other sports like baseball - where I have seen 50 games in the spring season (complete overuse FWIW).
