[quote=Anonymous]Totally do-able, and also possible to keep a pretty rigorous work load.

But I think the biggest factors are the club sports coach and the high school coach for the 2 different sports.  If you have to keep it secret from one of them, because they don't like having their players do another sport, then I think you're going to have issues.

If you have a club sports organization/or coach who values this kind of cross training and you can have a clear conversation about hierarchy (a game for high school is more important than a weight/practice for travel team) then it's do-able.  Also some high school coaches for a particular sport are very strict.  Can you have the reverse conversation or do you have to pretend for the high school coach that they are not playing travel in another sport simultaneously.

My guess is you can make it work with at least one of these 2 coaches being fully aware and supportive.  But if you have neither coach aware, nor supportive, then I think it will be very difficult.  (NOTE: this specific to the actual coaches, of each of the teams, that year)[/quote]
