DD is playing on 2 teams this season. One plays tournament only (5 in Spring 4 in fall) and one plays League/tournaments in Spring (5) and tournaments only in fall- 4/5). She's played like 56 games this season so far and still has 3 tournaments and one league game left. Then a few weeks off before fall ball.
I know this is a ton & I'm watching her very closely to make sure her pitch counts stay low and she gets adequate rest days. I keep her at/around 100 live pitches per day for 2 days followed by a rest day. If she does 3 days, day 3 is less then 2 days rest. She ices on days where she approaches that max.
I guess my questions are a)how does this compare to kids who are playing on highly competitive teams and b)any tips to make sure she stays healthy?
Both teams are borderline C/B level. One 12u and one 14u. DD is 12- will turn 13 in Aug.
