[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks are kinda piling on OP, but I get the concern.  We expected good grades and test scores in rigorous classes from our kid, and he ended up playing on school and club teams whose focus was sending kids to top D1 college programs.  So, his teachers would be assigning a hour of homework a class and offering optional but kinda required study session for AP classed before school and on weekends. Meanwhile,  the norm among DS’s teammates was to do basketball activities from right after school until at least 7:30 every day and all weekend. Coaches acted like kids had no homework (and many of DS’s teammates did none) and teachers acted like kids did nothing but study. [/quote]

What you are describing sounds perfectly appropriate for school and club teams focused on sending kids to top D1 college programs.  Being able to balance school and athletics in D1 is essential, and there is no better way to prepare for that than doing the same in high school.  [/quote]
