[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be first and most concerned about getting enough sleep and nutrition if there are early morning workouts plus afternoons. Doubles are not recommendable for kids under 14 yo, as they still grow and it might affect their development. School teachers would usually tell if the child comes tired and forgetful to classes. This is something to look into, sleep, rest and academics. [/quote]

Yup--many, many teens and tweens don't get enough sleep.  It's a big problem.  So, if she does both, will she have time to do her homework, eat decent meals, and get enough sleep?  Because if something has to give, it's going to be sports.  [/quote]
This. The problem is the morning practices mean she should be getting to sleep earlier the night before. If she has soccer practice or a game the night before, she can’t. We do club swimming and ended up stopping our other sports last year because of this. To work the best, she needs little homework and test, and then one sport per day or less AND no sport the night before and early swim AND the ability to change her sleep schedule so she can fall asleep earlier the nights before swim.
