| Coach is aiming for 8, but could end up being less (elementary school girl.) |

| Our team plays every weekend in some capacity. Some are weekend scrimmages but they have something every weekend. I don't understand teams that only play every other weekend at the AAU level where every player is dedicated to basketball. |

Too many, local and away (apx 3 weekends a month)!
We left our house before 9 am and returned home after 11. |

People have lives? This is how kids get burned out. |

Seasons are short. Our team also plays or practice every weekend but our season starts in April and ends mid-June. We don't play in the Fall or Winter. |

This! Our team is gone 2x/month and local the other two weekends. I don't think only playing every other weekend is the norm |

14 is crazy. How much did the spring season cost? |

| I think every other weekend sounds perfect (also skipping Easter/spring break and Memorial day). |
