[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]

I’m pretty sure every NCAP site requires a 12 month contract, so you are paying for summer long course even if the swimmers don’t go. [/quote]
