How many team practices does your kid's team do per week?
Next year, my kid's club (for a 2007 team) is having 3 practices per week for tier 1. Tier 2/3 teams have 2 practices per week.
When does your club move to 3 team practices per week?
I can see doing that over a short burst or season, for example (hey, in HS I practiced 5 days a week, but I only played in the fall). But to me, that seems like a lot of practice for year-round. No wonder all these kids are tearing ACLs.
For my own kid, doing 1 on 1 training rather than a team practice has helped them a ton. So I definitely don't fancy the move to 3x week team practice. Curious what is happening out there at various ages.
