Violin & piano 1x/week
Swim team 1x/week
Fencing 2-3x/week (go less if want to rest)
Chess 1x/week

DC1:
Violin & piano 1x/week
Swim team 1x/week
Equestrian 2x/month
Scout 1x/month

Winter sports 1x/week for 2 months

DCs enjoy all activities and don’t want to quit any of them.

What kind of swim team only meets once per week? Not a criticism, asking because DS9 kind of wants to join, but twice a week plus meets seems like a lot. Is violin/piano from the same teacher, back to back?

Check out swim with Beth, Fairfax fox swim club, centreville swim club, and moons aquatics swim club, they all offers once a week swim option. DCs have violin & piano classes, each 1x /weekly from different teachers.

Or are you?

DS8

Fall & Spring: Baseball 2X week Soccer 2X week 1 game per sport per weekend
Winter: 6 weeks of flag football 1 x during the week; Ski Team on weekends (yes we travel locally every weekend for ski team)

I have the sports crazy kid who wants to do even more sports. We would love to get him into an instrument or some sort of singing (He has a nice voice and likes music a lot) but he refuses thus far.

8 year old does soccer fall and spring twice a week. Nothing else yet.
10 year old does fitness class once a week, instrument twice a week, play rehearsals once or twice a week, art once a week.
We are at a parochial school where all the extracurricular start in 4th.

These schedules are making me tired! I understand that many kids are high energy and want to be in everything, but how do you parents have time to be taking two or three kids to 5 different activities each every week?

I would love to know which of these activities are just offered at school, or if you utilize a shuttle from school to activity.
My kid is in a club twice a week so it seems like he's in many activities on paper, but if I had to add those club activities as an additional "drive 20 minutes across town after school, wait for an hour, and drive 20 minutes home in the dark," I wouldn't allow that many sign ups.

I have one kid who does something every weekday. All weekday activities are after school clubs, except for one class I have to drive her to. She does one class on the weekends. The after-school stuff is only for part of the semester anyway.

None. Our school doesn’t offer any activities
