3 times a week for a total of 7 hours is excessive? We practice 2 days per week 1 Day hitting 2 hours then Sunday we go from 8am till 2:30pm. Last 2 hours is scrimmage. Many of the girls also go to Saturdays open practice which runs from 8am till noon. Winter is when the work gets done.3x and 7hrs a week for a 16u team?!? Holy cow. That seems....ummm...excessive. Tell me all these players are from the same town?
