[quote=Anonymous]So I was playing with a spreadsheet today about how much time is devoted to youth soccer per week per kid. I made a few assumptions in this based on some estimates, but here is what I came up with.

For my kid in a Development Academy (4x practices a week, 1x game a week, 30 week season)

[b]Practice:[/b]
90 minute practice
50 minute roundtrip (25 there, 25 back)
40 minutes transition (packing backpack, walking to field, post game pickup, shower, etc)

Each practice session takes 3 hours of time. Per week that is 12 hours. Per season that is 360 hours.

[b]Games[/b]
90 minutes game
30 minutes pre-game
60 minute drive (trying to average out home and away matches)
40 minutes transition (packing backpack, walking to field, post game pickup, shower, etc)

Each game is a 3 hour and 40 minute event, taking up 110 hours per season.

[b]470 hours per season dedicated to soccer, or about 15.66 hours a week. [/b]

I realize estimates for some of these things (driving, transition) may vary but thought it was an interesting exercise. We are supposed to arrive early for practice but most people straggle in just at the start so I didn't put that in. Anyone have any other numbers / times they can share? [/quote]
