[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]York does not have a 5 day per week option for 10&U.  Maximum is 4 days. [/quote]

as it should be. A 10 yr old should not be swimming 5 days a week. That is a recipe for very early burnout.[/quote]

Agree. Our NCAP site limits 10Us to 3 hours or less per week. 3 practices total for 3 hours total is the max. Period. Full stop. No exceptions, notwithstanding language on the site that suggests otherwise. (I think they haven’t updated the website in awhile.) [/quote]

Not an NCAP parent, but this is really smart. [b]Is this site-specific or does all of NCAP do this?[/b] [/quote]

Site specific. Marymount limits to 3 hrs/3 days. Tyson’s has a 4 day option for 10U[/quote]

We are at a different site and it's also limited to 3 hours/3 days for 10U. At that age the coaches are really trying to guard against burnout. They'd rather have a kid who is excited and eager 2x a week than one who is reluctantly showing up 3 days a week, and that's been clearly communicated to us.

Tysons pushes 4 days per week, 11 months a year to 9-10s.

I’ve talked to Tysons parents that want to switch to other clubs for this reason and this reason only.

Tysons owns (maybe capital lease- same same) the pool, so they need to drive revenue by filling hours and extending through summer.  [/quote]

As a Tysons parent I disagree.  There are different levels of commitment and you can choose what works best for your child/family (bronze, silver, gold, etc). Even with the high performing group the coach encourages and supports kids in summer swim etc.   As the parent, you have the control to pick the group and commitment level that works best for your family.[/quote]
