I think every other weekend sounds perfect (also skipping Easter/spring break and Memorial day).

We left our house before 9 am and returned home after 11.


This! Our team is gone 2x/month and local the other two weekends. I don't think only playing every other weekend is the norm

People have lives?

This is how kids get burned out.


Seasons are short. Our team also plays or practice every weekend but our season starts in April and ends mid-June. We don't play in the Fall or Winter.
