We are fortunate to have three 18u A travel coaches and one is an assistant coach for a D3 School. The JV however is a completely different story.
Yes you are extremely fortunate and I would bet have a strong program.

As a TB coach I can only imagine what we could do if we had our players 3 hours a day, 5 - 6 days a week for even 1 month.

We have a 2-hour limit on practices (this is common for NFHS) that we try and ignore and we do every day and Saturday. But the indoor gym time has been cut back to 45 minutes, and due to it rotating, our time could be dinner time. So the players wander around school for hours if it rains, and we try and find who else is not using their time or do stuff in the halls. With JV it just won't work to do approx 6-7 (their time)--parents lining up in the AD's office to complain.
Not sure why this jam up happens, our school has more turf fields than ever, which should take the other sports outdoors. I have tried for years to fix this to no avail. The answer this year was "Don't do everyday for the first few weeks, and trade off time with another team to get longer session."
So I spoke with another school about issues like this and their coach said JV can't practice when it rains (or snows) because there is not enough gym space. So especially if your school only has one gym, yes it could happen.

A lot of players quiting softball would be my guess.
