Just curious on other coaches opinions here. What do you believe is the ideal amount of practice time per week for girls around 12 and 14u?

For me it is middle school ball about 3 months long. We play 15 games (2 games a week on average) with almost a full month of potential practice before the 1st games starts.

Middle school teams practice 5x/week here. Might take an occasional Friday off. They go about 90 minutes. A month before the first game is a lot. I think 4x/week preseason ought to do it.

If school is in session we had late buses running Monday – Thursday so the coaches tried to stick to that schedule, with an occasional Friday practice. With a month to prepare 4x a week will be plenty. It was either a game or practice Monday – Thursday. They had room to practice inside so no breaks for weather either.

If school was not in session they did Monday – Friday but we only had about a week before the first game otherwise they would have probably done Monday – Thursday unless they were annoyed about something then a Friday practice too.

(Practice revolved around the bus schedule)
