I really like the way Screwball answered your question. When my DD was pitching we took time off every fall just to unwind. Then she would start weightlifting again in December and we would start pitching again in December as well. Down time is a must IMHO. Even during the season we only worked 3 days a week plus weekend games. Anymore then that and burn out can become an issue, again that is just my opinion. But as the kids get older and are playing TB and HS ball they get a lot of playing time. Our HS season is 45 games packed into a month and a half so they get pushed a lot that time of year. Overuse can lead to long term issues and should be watched.
