I completely understand how the club 'season' is long. I guess my point is that adding in the friendly vs. a college program makes it 36 games in 5 months. Which comes to approx. 7 games per month. The other season I'm referencing had 30 games in less than 3 months. Which obviously is a little more than 10 games per month.
Were there any other games in June other than regionals? Were there any other games in July other than Seattle? Would that make 42 games in 7 months? I guess my point is that I heard all this talk about kids being forced to play in 3 leagues at the same time. The concern being that they were playing too much. I know you complimented coach Shelley above. Is it true that he accomodated players taking weekends/games off as well? It seems to me that the spring HS season is actually the season that puts too much stress on the body etc. with the number of games per month that the players are forced to play. I've also heard horror stories of the amount of 'fitness' (or punishment) that sometimes happens at a Tuesday 'practice' in between a Monday game and a Wednesday game. That can make for a long season.
