[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you know anything about D3 sports? Some D3 schools are as good as D1…

Who, what, where, and how?

D3 college sports are competitive, but overall the top athletic talent in each sport is recruited and gravitates toward D1 programs.

In 99% of sports fields, the D1 national champion would absolutely crush the D3 champion.  Let's be real![/quote]

All that may be true, [b]but it doesn't translate into the D3 athlete spending less time practicing and training. [/b]Yes, the D1 women's national soccer champions - the 'noles - may crush the D3 women's Christopher Newport team, but that Newport coach is still expecting the players to practice, train, and/or participate in a team bonding event every day, week on week.

Also, there are plenty of outstanding players who simply do not have the size for a D1 team. They may want to play D1 but have to be realistic about where they will play.[/quote]

I'm the PP who posted about my DS and grades not being good enough for some high academic schools.  DS is currently playing his sport at a D3.  It is a spring sport and this semester he's extremely busy.  Two mornings a week, he has lifting in the morning (7:00am.)   He has class every day from 9:00am to 12:30pm.  He gets a couple of hours to do homework, relax then he goes to practice from 3:30-6:30pm every day.  He has a game one day a week, so that day he has to be on the field, or catching the bus, around 1:00pm.  On game days, he doesn't finish until about 7:30pm.  He has games almost the entire day on Saturday and Sunday.  Report time to the field is usually around 9:00am.  Last weekend on Saturday, he had to be on the field at 9:00am and didn't finish until 7:30pm.  He had to be back on the field at 10:00am Sunday morning.  If he doesn't have a game on a Saturday or Sunday (which is very rare) they do an all day scrimmage.  Monday night is "free" - but he has mandatory study hall.  I can't imagine what a schedule looks like at a D1.  [/quote]
