[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Early elementary one activity per season, max.

We value and prioritize unstructured play time outside of school and time outside in addition to having a fairly flexible schedule for whatever we want to do.

One activity at a time? I would like to know what your kid’s week looked like at 2nd- 4th grade! I don’t know anyone who only does even just 1 sport at a time.

Mine is:

Mon: free
Tue: piano lesson
Wed: sport practice or game
Thu: free
Fri:free
Sat: language class 
Sat or Sun: sometimes a sport game

But no before care or aftercare, so at school 8-3pm and he gets picked up right away for sport or music.

That’s an easy schedule.  [/quote]

That is my point. And it’s 4 activities. I can’t see people doing just 1 activity per semester with all the enrichment and optimization going on. [/quote]

Some activities have a higher commitment. We are doing one sport at a time for my son because more than one was too much. He’s 8 but he has 3 practices a week then 3-5 games a weekend. He plays football, lacrosse, tennis and basketball but we only do one at a time. The next sport is a rec league that has 1 practice and 1 game a week but when it’s a slower period he can play with friends. He also does a Christian peer group. [/quote]
