How many times a week do the teams play and practice?
A. The first 3 weeks of April are used for practices only. Typically, coaches will run 1 or 2 practices per week (fewer for the younger children). Usually, this means 1 practice on Saturday and one practice on a weekday. Practices run about 1 hour for the younger children and between 1.5-2 hours for the older children. The practice days and start times vary from team to team. Regular season games begin with Opening Day on April 24th. At that point, weekday practices end because each team will play twice a week (Mon-Fri) and have one practice on Saturday. All games are on the weekdays, and the games begin at 5:30 p.m. and typically last 1 hour for the younger children and 2 hours for the older children. Back to top Q.
